- Looked like a shell of himself last year
- New coaching staff (and hopefully attitude) incoming
- He has a cap hit of $8.6 million in 2019
- Spotrac shows his dead money shrinks to $1.8 million this year, if he's cut.
No brainer to cut him?
I would leave it up to the next coach and not saddle him with the burden, but also to let Burfict have a chance to turn things around with a new attitude. I'd have no problem if the team moved on at this point, if only to save Burfict from himself.
