Bengals Release Jamaal Anderson

Jamall Anderson was about to enter his seventh NFL season, but the Bengals released him, yesterday.

The defensive end signed a two-year deal worth $5.5 million last year, with $500,000 guaranteed.  Anderson only played in two games last season; his season was shortened after he tore his quad in Week Two against Cleveland.

The Bengals have a lot of depth at his position, they recently re-signed Wallace Gilberry, then they drafted Magus Hunt, so there really isn’t a spot where Anderson would fit in.
