The guy had a hip injury that he decided to have surgery on in 2020, other than that he had a toe ligament in 2016. 

He did not miss time due to injuries prior to coming to the Bengals, he played every single game in 2017, 18, 19 and 12 games in 2021.

The year before coming to Cincy the man had ELITE PFF scores of 80 overall, 89.4 RBLK, 74.3 PBLK.

He played with a bad back this past year, if that isnt healed up or his knee doesnt get right then it makes sense, but not now.

After losing 2 SB chances due to the oline it would be beyond stupid to cut LC now and lose his depth potential to save a measly 4M....

All of this is true, but I did find it a lil odd that Dallas couldn't find a trade partner for him. I don't remember if he was vocal about wanting to move on. I know that hurts at times. Also felt like we got him at a bargain. I'm not in favor of releasing him though either. Excellent depth at the worst. Best RT on the team best case scenario.
