So the choice was between
1) Bury Bouma and have a 1.175m cap hit for one year
2) Buy him out to a 666k caphit this year and 766k next year.
I can't imagine the savings being anything of significance either way but could be a favor done to the player for years of service in literally laying his body for the team.
Wish the best of luck to Bouma.
