I wonder IF behind the scenes he complained or questioned things. Has to be more to this.

There were some reports swirling that the Chiefs had interest in trading for Preston Brown. They could be interested if he makes it to them on the waiver wire. HOWEVER, he is in the first year of a 3 year contract, so I am not sure anyone will claim him. We will see. https://t.co/ZYf3LkRTT6

Interesting, wonder what's up ?

[EastCoastBengal]

Well, I have a list of others the bengals can cut.

How many LB's are left on the squad? LOL!

Chiefs had some interest in trading for him. Bengals probably wanted a 2nd round pick in return. 2 weeks later they cut him lol.

He's a vested veteran.  He'll be a free agent not a waiver pickup so his contract won't come into play for the new team

The #Bengals are releasing veteran LB Preston Brown, per @TheTylerDragon. He re-signed with Cincy in the offseason on a 3-year, $16.5M deal. Cut 8 months later.

Please stop sending these tweets, idk if my heart can handle it.

Probably needed to happen, but honestly the LBs are all lacking in talent and speed. Won't change much this year. Free up some space for next year which is a positive I guess.

I like this move. I also like black licorice, anchovies, and Ringo Starr's disco album so take that into consideration.

[THE PISTONS]

I wonder IF he didn't react well to losing some snaps to Pratt and criticized the staff?

Indeed. Well...now they HAVE to make changes at LB. Forced too...

Because we have very few on the roster.

#Buccaneers released former first-round pick CB Vernon Hargreaves (47.7 PFF Grade).#Bengals released LB Preston Brown (44.1 PFF Grade). Brown signed a 3-year extension with the Bengals this past March. pic.twitter.com/ORgQ762EjI

Lewd & Lascivious Lew Anarewmeaux is going to a 4-7 D. And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords...

[THE PISTONS]

It's funny how many teams fans are tweeting that they want their team to sign Brown and Hargreaves!

Funny I tell you!

With the Preston Brown cut, here are the associated Dead Cap & Cap saving numbers:

2019: $3.1M DC, $1.6M CS
2020: 800k DC, $5M CS
2021: 800k DC, $5M CS

CS = Cap Savings
DC = Dead Cap

Look at this stuff. As IF the Bengals were just so loaded at LB that LB's we cut are starters on other teams:

Preston Brown and Vernon Hargreaves would be immediate starters for the #NYJets. The #Jets absolutely should do everything in their power to get at least one of these guys. #TakeFlight
