He has 1 year left on his deal, and its fully guaranteed. You'd be a fool to release him for cap reasons.
Harper has 2 years left ('13 and '14), no? And, '14 is not guaranteed.
A previous poster is suggesting that we can cut him next year but realize the cap hit in '13. If that's the case, then I would agree it would make no sense to cut him.

Youre correct, i misread something earlier. I looked at it again. This year is fully guarenteed, so the cap hit is taken. We have nothing to lose and plenty to gain (assuming he plays well). If we dont like his play, we nix him before a roster bonus is due for next season and its a clean break for us.

The only reason to release him this year is to sign someone. So the question becomes can you sign someone of equal value from what you gain in cap space? I'm not sure you can.
Now if it's a combo cut, like cutting Strief and Harper for a better RT, then yes it may make sense.
