- Cincinnati release Andy Dalton, their quarterback since 2011
- Bengals drafted LSU’s Joe Burrow with No 1 pick last week
The Bengals cleared the way for Joe Burrow to lead the team by releasing quarterback Andy Dalton, who holds several of the franchise’s passing records but couldn’t lead Cincinnati deep into the playoffs.
The move Thursday gives Dalton, who had a year left on his deal, a chance to compete for a job with another team.
