If KE is suspended for 12 games can we then ask him to leave and re- sign him for half the amount for rest of season?

Wouldn't be too many teams with the money available looking to sign a player in his position at this time of year.
You'd be surprised. They can always backload for the chance to get him cheap this year. Yes it's allowed. And if we f**ked him around by sacking him with the intent to re-sign him cheap he might just take a rival offer to spite us.

There's definitely some risk but if he cops a long suspension he becomes terrible value, for this year at least.

If they're top 25 their entire contract counts under the cap whether they play every game or no games. The only exception seems to be retirement with a not-pre-existing injury.

I think contract termination also removes the balance from the cap but might be wrong.

One of the many inconsistencies out of last years darkest day in sport was in some aspects it appears the cap is on cash basis. This would theoretically mean we could terminate Kenny with full payout and then re-sign him at lower value. Of course the cap realistically is on contract basis. Or more likely whatever the f**k Grinturd wants basis
