If I were the Bengals I would even consider trading him for a conditional pick. Even if those conditions aren't met, and we end up with nothing, I still think it's the wise move.
He offers nothing at this point to our team. Actually, I take that back. He offers the abilty to pollute the locker room by being unhappy. (Note: I'm not blaming Ross for being unhappy, I'm just pointing out the fact that he's not necessarily someone you want in the locker room)
Even after we eat the bonus portion of his cap, John Ross' remaining base pay for the season is 2.8. If you traded him at the deadline it would still net you 1.4 mil in savings.
I would literally take anything for him right now. And if there are zero offers, I'd probably just cut bait. Do yourself and him a solid by moving on. You save some coin, and remove a disgruntled employee, he gets a fresh start with a chance to catch on somewher else.
Nothing good will come from him being on this team, unless they magically find a way to get him 20+ snaps a game. And I think we all know that's not going to happen.
