BREAKING: Cincinnati Bengals cut linebacker Vontaze Burfict after seven seasons https://t.co/MO01x1H57W

Sad way for it to end. Really not sure who would take him on at this point
He was such a damn fine player for us but he became a liability and he's the sort of guy you really fear for health wise and also away from the structure of the NFL environemtn....hope the NFLPA looks out for him
RE: Bengals release Burfict - THE PISTONS - 03-18-2019
Wonder if this means Dennard will be back?
I looked at free agent LB's and the pickings are slim.
RE: Bengals release Burfict - Shouldamapads - 03-18-2019
We must be making room for Suh.

Sorry to hear this. Burfict was one of the only guys we've had who consistently played with sack.
He was the hero we deserved and needed.

If this is true, Pittsburgh is probably on the phone with him right now....

Hobson is usually the last person to get news out on the Bengals home page. Everything is always announced on the Cincinnati Enquirer, ESPN, NFL.com, and PFT before Hobspin gets an article up.

And I'm not saying it's untrue, I'm just waiting for official word from someone with the team, not some reporter trying to be first and reporting rumors.
RE: Bengals release Burfict - THE PISTONS - 03-18-2019
Brandon Marshall is still a free agent at LB. Justin Houston too...but he's more of a pass rusher.

Very sad about this

They just signed Mark Barron.

And? Just imagine how Burfict could resurrect his career in a uniform that is flag proof....
RE: Bengals release Burfict - Bengalholic - 03-18-2019
The move gives the Bengals an about 5.5m in extra cap. Hopefully that gets applied to additional free agent pickups.

Wearing a Steelers jersey will protect him from concussions and knee injuries and keep him in shape?

Burfict will probably go to the Raiders. Gruden loves him

If they designate him a post June 1st cut they can get 6.4m in extra cap. Almost 9m for next year too.

Glad we are moving on if true. He's just not dependable nor nearly effective as he used to be.

Yep. That's the biggest part for me.
It's an obvious move to make, but still I'm semi-encouraged they did it. Marvin Lewis may be the only coach in the NFL that will put up with him. They seemed like a package deal.
RE: Bengals release Burfict - Okeana - 03-18-2019
Isn’t Zach brown still available
RE: Bengals release Burfict - JWW1971 - 03-18-2019
Like this move, he was a great player but we need someone we can rely on and not someone who is going to miss half the games due to Injury or suspension

AB will quit like the little ***** he is.
Sad to see him go. Hope he saved some $ and can hang them up.
