Billy Price's cap hit this year is about 3.2m. Trading or cutting him would raise (not lower) that to 3.3m, meaning it costs us 100k in cap space to get rid of him. 100k is negligible, but as others have said it aint gonna happen this year.
In 2021 the situation is different. His cap hit is 3.7M, but trading him brings it down to 1.65m. So there would be incentive for us to do it. The question still remains, why would anybody give anything up for him? They probably wouldn't, but it's not impossible. We once got a late 5 for Keith Rivers, who was also looking like a bust at the time and who played a non-premium position. It depends on how Billy plays this year. If he shows improvement, somebody else who had a high grade on him coming out, and who maybe thinks we just spoiled him somehow, could possibly cough up a day 3 pick. That's if he shows improvement, of course.
