They did it! They finally did it! The Cincinnati Bengals admitted that they lit a third-round draft pick on fire last year by waiving embattled wide receiver Jermaine Burton on Monday.
No need to bury the lede on this one. NFL Media's Tom Pelissero broke the glorious news, as Bengals fans can finally say, "good riddance!" to this menace of a player who wasn't active for a single game this season.
Burton was suspended for Week 14's season-destroying loss in Buffalo. The Bengals could've used a deep threat like him to further challenge the Bills and their top-ranked pass defense, but the mercurial 24-year-old came up short yet again.
