Germaine Pratt being released by the Cincinnati Bengals isn’t a surprise. What’s surprising is how long it took for the Bengals to ultimately release him.
Pratt requested a trade months ago, and the Bengals released him just one day before Mandatory Minicamp starts on Tuesday.
Even though Pratt looked like he was struggling last season, he should be remembered for his big-play mentality in the biggest games over his seasons in Cincinnati. Pratt’s interception in the playoff game against the Raiders is one of the best moments in my life as a Bengals fan. I’ll never forget the sound of 66,277 fans simultaneously erupting at Paul Brown Stadium when Pratt’s interception broke the Cincinnati Sports Curse.
