He's under contract and will count $15M against the cap. If they operate under the assumption he won't be back, they have to take the cap hit and let him sit for a year. Which means there's a lot less money to be active in free agency.
The only way to free up that money is to extend him, which likely means he's in their long-term plans, which then reduces the chance they'll take a LT of the future in the draft.
There's really not much they can do. It's not a great situation at all.
