Erickson was actually decent last year stepping in for injured WRs. He put up 529 yards.
However, he's a slot receiver and the Bengals already have Boyd and Ross who can play slot.
Some might think to just get rid of John Ross and keep Erickson, but Ross put up 506 yds and 3 TDs in just 8 games where Erickson was available for all 16 games.
Plus, as you said, Erickson would return a cap savings of $1.6 mill whereas Ross's full salary ($5.5 mill) is guaranteed and as such no cap savings if cut.
Erickson has reliable hands. Runs good routes. But he just lacks a 2nd gear to do any damage after the catch
I don't think he makes the roster this year
