The Cincinnati Bengals let wideout Trenton Irwin go on ahead of Week 14, waiving him and subjecting him to the wire.
After the news went live, Irwin took to Instagram with a pretty interesting comment.
Near the end of said comment, Irwin wrote this: “When people no longer see you the way you see yourself it’s a clear sign that it’s time to go. Excited to create my legacy elsewhere and keep chasing perfection like a shadow.”
That was a pretty clear sign that Irwin wouldn’t be signing back with the Bengals’ practice squad.
While it isn’t necessarily a sign of players wanting to leave the Bengals or anything so dramatic, it does come at an interesting time for the team. Andrei Iosivas hasn’t emerged as the reliable No. 3 and rookie Jermaine Burton hasn’t lived up to his draft billing.
Perhaps the team is ready to get Charlie Jones back and more heavily involve him. But letting go of a wideout who has been with the team for five-plus years while letting recent waiver claim Isaiah Williams act as the sixth wideout is an odd move at this point.
