Give them some time to work it out. I’ll be shocked if all 5 players don’t have the contracts terminated soon but it won’t be immediately.

They have known this was a possibility for a long time, and have had days since news broke of 5 players asked to surrender that they should have known it was now a strong possibility. Not having this ready to go shows they are either completely incompetent or willfully ignorant to what has been going on.
Tell him you are putting him on unconditional waivers for the purposes of contract termination, stop paying him and let him file a grievance with the union.
What is the worst case scenario, you are forced to pay him out in the end.
