Nope from capgeek's old FAQ

The league has confirmed that both ordinary-course and compliance buyouts supersede cap benefit recapture. However, a player must clear unconditional waivers prior to any buyout — unless he chooses to block the waiver process with a no-move clause, should he have one — and thus could be claimed by another team if the player intends to remain active. In these cases, the buyout is pre-empted and the waiving team is still subject to the recapture penalties they were trying to avoid. Meanwhile, ordinary-course buyouts executed in “back-diving” years typically come with equally stiff cap charges.
