When Luck retired, keep in mind that Irsay let him keep the ~$14M that could've been reclaimed by the team.... this was to keep the possibility of a return open. Am I assuming correctly that this $14M was on the cap effectively as dead space as well? Dead space because he never came back.
I guess I'm getting at the fact that we cannot assume that Irsay wouldn't allow us to take the hit if he thought we needed to.

Luck's dead cap hit for the 2019 NFL season was more than that number.
His dead cap hit was a combination of:
$12M Roster Bonus
$6M+ prorated portion of Signing Bonus
The final cap hit was between $18 - 19M for 2019.
