The Cincinnati Bengals thanked long-time starting quarterback Andy Dalton on Thursday afternoon, a short time after releasing the 2011 second-round draft pick who trailed only Ken Anderson among the franchise's leaders in passing yardage:
"I'm sad to let go. While that chapter of our life is closing, God has surrounded us with the most amazing people," JJ said.
Reactions from social media (and more will be added as they arrive):
The New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars reportedly are among teams indicating interest in Dalton.
