Somebody please tell me what it means to be "released"... is that like being FIRED? Do they get their full pay, etc.....?

That's a good way to look at it.

Nope
well, not really. to elaborate, they don't get the upcoming year(s) salary(ies), but they do keep(and count against the cap) all the signing bonus(es) agreed/restructured upon.

True...
In this case the question came up after tribeofjudah read about Lemar Marshall. In his case he's just gone ( he was due $1M in base, the Skins will carry $182K in dead cap)
Bottom line = Marshall is out a million and the Skins save $1M less what it cost to sign Godfrey (if he makes the final 53)

Ok... Dumb question here.
Wasn't Marshall under a contract?
How do they get out of paying his salary when he is under contract? Don't they have to break the contract somehow?

His Salary is based on him being on the team. If he's cut then he leaves with whatever he's already been paid and will look for another deal somewhere else. Normally any money that's guaranteed is paid out over the first 2-3 years of the contract in the form of Signing bonuses and/or Roster bonuses. If the player has unpaid guaranteed money still on the table than something will be worked out (AA was going into his 2nd year had $5M due from the Skins even though he was traded). Marshall was in the last year of his contract and no unpaid guaranteed money left in the contract.

The only dumb question is the one that isn't asked.

Anyone who thinks "The only dumb question is the one that isn't asked" has never been interviewed by a small market TV reporter...
Things that make you go "DUHHHH"...
Tribes question was excellent, however...
