Ordinarily, no, if you release a player with say 5 years, $10 million per year, then you'd be charged with $50,000,000. (Of course OOTP does this "unrealistically" as well, as it charges all $50,000,000 at once whereas in RL you'd get to pay it out over the 5 years).

However, as it currently is set up, if a player suffers a CEI, then, the next day, you can release him "free." If however, the CEI weren't "instant", and instead he's just listed as injured, then you would be charged his salary as long he's injured and on your roster and if you released him while injured but before he retired then you'd be charged with all the remaining money left on his contract.
