For some reason he won't go in it. Maybe he escaped one once, but he's too smart. Here's one of his brothers I assume

You’ve answered it yourself! Put a fenn trap in the cage.

He won't go in the cage if the Fenn Trap is already in there. For some reason he knows what the trap is.
What if I was worried that he was an overweight rat and for his own good wanted to help him lose weight. So I tried to give him swimming lessons but something went wrong

Give it a poke with the expanding foam gun!!!
Do you have a written policy of how you will dispose of the dead rat? my RT assessor wanted a plan of action as to what I would do with a dead mouse? bury, burn etc?

I had a lecture from my daughter (when she was a field biologist for Rentokil) on that subject, when I said I throw them in the woods with a shovel, she was decidedly unimpressed and started going on about poison in the wildlife and how, I may have planted lots of hedges but what I was doing was terrible for the environment. In black rubbish bag is the correct answer.

What you need is a .177 desert eagle so you can scare them to death before shooting them https://www.jsfieldsports.co.uk/product-page/magnum-research-desert-eagle-co2-air-pistol

This isn’t the first time this question has come up and people usually say not to drown them.
I do usually shoot them in the cage with an air rifle but honestly think drowning is less stressful.
Do what you think best and don’t tell anyone. Dead rats tell no tales!
