Really? Wow. Thought they’d keep Hart to see if he can play Guard. Guess not.

Now Bobby Hart can pursue his lifelong dream of crashing ice cream trucks into vaccination clinics.

This might be the most liked thread in the history of the board.

The #Bengals are releasing QB Ryan Finley, source said, along with OT Bobby Hart. Clearly some space with their new signings.

I'm a bit surprised by Finley because I thought other players would be cut before him to save some dollars. I wonder who will end up as QB3?

[GreenCornBengal]

Despite all the panic... has this offseason not been pretty close to what people wanted??

[BurnsBengal]

Never even a remotely average QB, but....always remember.

Okay color me shocked....The bengals doing something that NFL organizations do....make smart moves.   Definitely not moves i expected them to make lol 

This tells me they ponied up for Reiff and if his $$$ total is over $10 mil a year welcome your new starting LT.  They arent going to pay him over $10M per year to play RT or G

Well that was fast. Hopefully they at least tried to trade Hart to a Oline desperate team (KC,Oakland).

For me Finley was a long time coming...what a mistake that was was...the guy has no arm strength. As for Hart, not going to bash too much becuase he actually looked decent to almost good at times but he is not starter caliber or worth that $. now Lets lock up a guard , Spain or a another tested FA and we look good even if we pass on Sewell.

This is a Hall of Fame level post on this board IMO. 

[MileHighGrowler]

This is something to celebrate!! With Reiff on board now, so happy to say goodbye to Hart.

Finley leaves Cincinnati saying, “What QB in recent Bengals history has beaten the Steelers?......Oh, me!”

I'll forever be grateful to Ryan Finley for leading the Bengals to the #1 pick. No Ryan Finley = No Joe Burrow

Someone who can pass for at least 50% completion percentage and average at least 200 yards in a game.

Plus a win against the squealers. Win Win. Thanks Finley.

Color me surprised. I kinda expected Finley when we signed Allen but Hart was a surprise given how doggedly certain Brown family members defended his contract. I guess they did not envision sliding him inside to RG.
