Surprising NFL move as ex-Boise State safety George Iloka gets cut; Scandrick finds new team

After starting in 76 games over the last five seasons for the Cincinnati Bengals, former Boise State standout George Iloka is hitting the free agent market.

In a surprising move, the Bengals let go of the veteran safety Sunday, which has been described as primarily a financial decision. His rookie contract ended after the 2015 season, but he resigned with Cincinnati in March 2016 on a five-year, $30 million deal. He was set to make $4.8 million this season.

A stunner: The #Bengals are releasing starting safety George Iloka, per @MikeGarafolo and me.
