He will cost us $4.1 million next year. On free agent market he gets 3 million.
His cap hit (the only figure that really matters) for 2021 is $4.76 million, which will rank Gio 14th among all RB's:

His production doesn't match the cost. We'd save $4.1 million (against the cap) by cutting him and could easily replace his production with a host of RB's who would cost around $1 million. This is a no-brainer. Set your nostalgia aside.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
