From my understanding, due to his athleticism, they drafted him with the intent of moving him to cornerback. For whatever reason, that experiment ended after day one of training camp.
I'll be surprised if he doesn't pass through waivers because was a late 6th rounder and hasn't shown much, if anything, in preseason. Considering that any team that claims him would need to make a roster move of their own, it seems likely that he ends up on the Chiefs practice squad, unless a Florida based team offered him a spot.

I guess they could get out of it as early as next year if they wanted to - they backloaded that base salary so much that just eating the remaining $3 million in signing bonus to clear about $1.8 million off the cap is feasible (his number is at $4.8 if he's on the squad), but it seems unlikely.
Just a strange deal for a part-time player at a position that wasn't exactly thin (especially when he's a bit of a liability if Parker or Berry were to go down, making him not exactly a true backup either).

Not to pile on the guy even further, but this is one of those head-scratching contracts that Dorsey all too often doled out.
