This move has been on the table since the end of last season.  Re-signing Perrine cemented it.  It was a matter of when not if

And if a trade happened his new team would inherit his contract. If you’re set to make $4.1M with the Bengals or with your new team via trade, it doesn’t make sense on Bernard’s side to ask for his release when he is almost assured to make less if he is released instead of traded.
