His dead cap if cut next year (or traded) is only 2 million and frees up 9.5 million.
Not sure what is going on with him and his illness but hopefully it isn't something too serious.

good RB and I want him back after this season.

Yes, he should be cut. Take that $9 mil and pay BJ Hill or a similar FA DT who is average or better vs the run and pass. I'd love to steal Ford or Tart from the Chargers. If we add an early/early-ish pick to that, and assume Jenkins & Jackson improve, the DT room would be acceptable. And we could even afford to pass in the draft and still be ok-ish with Hill, Ford/Tart, Jackson, Jenkins +1.
DT detaft prospects:
RD 1: Harmon, Grant, Nolen
Rd2: Walker, Burch (DE/DT), Williams, Sanders
Rd2-3: Norman-Lott, Turner
Rd3-4: Collins, Stackhouse
DT rooks typically struggle, so I'd prefer 1-2 FA signings and only 1 rook DT. Though there are decent prospects across multiple rounds. DT & NT types.

Flashing as a rookie at DT isn't easy to do thats a position that takes a few years as you said. Where we more urgently need help is in the secondary. CTB has been very up and down and DJ Turner and Dax are coming off ACL tears so hard to rely on them. We also urgently need a couple good pass rushers. Murphy and Ossai are playing ok but neither gets consistent pressure on the QB. Ossai has impressed me the last few games but he can't be relied on yet.

He is a good back and a good returner. He's not some rookie with no experience to judge. The Bengals were lucky to get him and I hope he sticks.
