The Cincinnati Bengals waived 11 players after their preseason finale, announcing the moves on Friday.
Cincinnati let the following players go:
- –WR Hakeem Butler
- –HB Noah Cain
- –OT Jackson Carman
- –DE Andre Carter
- –LB Aaron Casey
- –S Michael Dowell
- –CB Allan George
- –WR Kwamie Lassiter II
- –QB Rocky Lombardi
- –G Eric Miller
- –DT Joshua Pryor
Of the names there, Jackson Carman is by far the biggest. The former second-round pick couldn’t carve out a starting job over a handful of years in Cincinnati and was demoted to the fourth team over the course of the last two preseason games.
Wideout Hakeem Butler was a big-name signing for the team during training camp, but he couldn’t break through the stacked depth chart. Similarily, Lassiter had another fantastic summer, yet loses to the numbers game.
The undrafted Aaron Casey was one of two guys the Bengals paid up extra for after the draft, yet the other — Maema Njongmeta — was one of the biggest breakouts of training camp.
