In OOTP, when you release a player you take the immediate hit for the remainder of his contract. It all goes against that years player expenses and you should be able to see it in your financials right away. It's not paid out a bit at a time.
You should be able to look at your player expenses thus far, (say for example it's $25M) then go release the player, and whatever the balance owed was (for example $10M) should now have been added to the player expenses. In this example it should show $35M.
