Where did the narrative that we're releasing Jaire start?

Did I miss something from the organization talking about it or hinting about it? Or is it just reddit speculation? He's only 27 years old, turns 28 in a couple weeks.

He counts for basically 24.9m against the cap next year. If we cut or trade him, he still counts 18.1m against the cap. Is it worth cutting him to save 6.8m? The money makes a lot more sense to keep him for next year and cut/trade him the following year, when he'd only be a dead cap hit of 10m and we'd save 17m.
