If retaining 50% means you could move him without giving up draft capital or taking on a long contract, I would do it.
$5.25 million of dead cap hit 7 years from now is better than $10.5. And I just don't see the guy ever really being a good fit on this team if/when they are a contender.

There will be room soon enough. Kuzmenko and Mantha will be gone this year and Coleman might be gone next year. The best bet is ride out his contract until he has a few years left and then dump him to a team that needs cap. No chance an owner will eat 50% of a contract for nothing for 7 years.
