Regardless of whether he did this or not. he's the type of person who seems to orbit these situations. Good player. Bad personal situational awareness and risk assessment skills.

He's currently a $9 million cap hit, his contract ends after this season and we've just drafted a DT in the first round. He might even be traded before the season starts, though stuff like this doesn't help his trade value.

Actually, his contract is through the 2021 season, but there will be no dead cap for 2019 if he is traded/released before the third league day of 2019. I would doubt we would trade him during this season since he is an important part of the defense and we don't want to rely on rookies to take up the slack, and as you mentioned his trade value probably isn't that great right now, but I think he is likely to be a salary cap casualty for 2019.
