Doesn't make sense otherwise as they have a buttload of cap space currently so it's not like they need the room.

Not 100% sure I get it either. The contract was front loaded and includes a $2 million signing bonus (which can't be bought out) on the last year. So instead of paying $5.5 million this year, they are paying him $3.167 this year and $1.167 next year.
I guess a slight money saving, but then they have to pay a guy league minimum to take his spot on the bottom pairing.
