They already promised to do right by him.
It became obvious that he had to be released.
Andy wanted that to happen sooner rather than later.
Nothing about any of that equals quitting.
Both sides were in a position where there was only one possible outcome. Andy requested that outcome go ahead and happen so he could look for other opportunities. The Bengals agreed and granted that request. The outcome was unavoidable and benefits both.
They can’t afford him? Sure they can. There are any number of ways they can. The could renegotiate with Dalton for a home town discount. They could re-sign others to fit Andy under the cap. They could release other players to remain under the cap. They didn’t release him today because he is a cap casualty.
