If he sucks there, the dead cap penalty for cutting him would be a whopping 0 for the Bears.

I don't think that would be wise at all.

First, if the Redskins get rid of him they will flat drop him.

Second, why the hell would anyone want to touch that contract with a 10 foot pole? After the Redskins drop him, they can sign him in the neighborhood of the league minimum. Around the league, he is viewed as an injured "never was".
