The Bengals after resigning Eifert and going after Buffalo Bills top Left Tackle and Linebacker in Free Agency said they would make up for this spending with cuts after the draft. So besides letting Bodine, Hill, Pacman go in free agency, they have of late cut LaFell and now IIoka. Unless Bengals say different, all internet stories say this isn't about the 5 year starters play on the field. News stories saying he was cut to save salary cap money. Strictly a money move. If that is the case, I expect an NFL team will be picking him up pretty fast. I don't know how set Zimmer is at safety, but he might consider him for Vikings. Some team will grab him if the 5 year starter was cut over money, not poor play. Also Bengals had a Suspension clause in Burfict's contract, and with him getting suspended the Bengals don't have to pay 1/4 of his contract. So Bengals getting Burfict for millions cheaper due to his 4 game suspension. Bengals were smart to add a suspension clause to Burfict contract. He still gets 3/4 of his contract, just a few million less than he thought. So Bengals getting money back after free agent spending, as they had planned.
