Waiving Powell now would not open up space for anyone given that his contract his guaranteed and still counts against the cap for this season.
For next season, the remaining 4 million owed to him would be stretched across 3 years, so it would carry a hit of 1,333,333 per year for the next 3 years of dead space.
That almost alone counts for a vet min deal. So there is no tangible benefit for stretching Powell.
