The Cincinnati Bengals are finally moving on from linebacker Vontaze Burfict.
According to several media reports on Monday, the Bengals are releasing Burfict, who had been a member of the team since originally being signed by them in 2012 as an undrafted free agent out of Arizona State.
Burfict, who has a long history in the NFL of questionable hits and play during his seven seasons with the Bengals, has been fined and suspended for multiple games over the years. Several of those past infractions happened in games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and included him seemingly attempting to purposefully injure players.
