Trading a player puts the part of his signing bonus that hasn't hit the cap yet on the cap of the team that sends him. The team that gets him takes on his salary, not the bonus. Traded during the season, one season's share of the bonus counts this season and the rest counts next season. Traded in the off-season, all of it counts against the cap right away. Figures are Madden's own penalty for each contract. Trades made in the game without the site aren't included.

Per OVR point is a division, not a verdict — a cap hit over an overall rating, nothing more. Whether a number is a problem depends on the position and the player, and that is your call rather than the site's.
There is no "cut him and save this much" here on purpose: a release in Madden carries dead money, and the export does not carry the figure — so that saving is not something this site can work out, and guessing at it would be guessing at the one number that decides whether the advice is any good.
