He retired.
The league rule is below.

Any player retiring or permanently removed from the NFL due to disciplinary or legal trouble may be cut without cap penalty regardless of the details of the contract. If such a player again enters the league the owner who cut the player relinquishes all rights to the player when cutting him. This does not include players who receive suspensions from the NFL (i.e. one year drug suspensions). Also covered under this rule would be the passing of any active player.

I'm posting this for everyone - if you don't post anything for a transaction I'm going to assume it's a regular drop and charge a cap penalty. Honestly, I didn't realize Forte had retired because he's just not on my radar. Now that you posted something I've looked it up and see he's formally announced his retirement. I'll remove the cap penalty.
