RRH's Dead Cap figure is $11.7 Million this year, so the situation is either keep him, take an $11.7 Million cap hit by either cutting or trading him OR potentially treating him as post-june 1st (if possible, not sure it is) which would be $5.85M hit this year and $5.85M next year.  Not an unmanageable cap situation, but his dead cap figure isn't as comfy as some of you have described.  Also, he got $4M guaranteed on 3/22/24 earlier this year.  It would be a a pretty obvious error to have paid that and then decided just months later to cut him.  I'm guessing based on the guarantees and likely dead cap hit of $11.7M that he's probably safe.

If you click the red scissors on the right side of the 2024 line in your link you'll see the explanation. Post June 1 designation doesn't consider the contract year, so if they cut him now that 11.7 goes 4.0 this year and 7.7 next year against the cap. I agree it doesn't make sense to cut him from a contract perspective, but the numbers aren't unbearable if they decide he doesn't measure up.
