Cincy Jungle
Playoff P is leaving the Queen City.
Monday afternoon, it was reported that the Cincinnati Bengals would release long-time starting linebacker Germaine Pratt.
Fans reacted the way they normally do — all over the place. Pratt isn’t coming off of a great 2024 season, but he also corralled the game-winning interception to end the Bengals' 31-year playoff drought, so there will always be a lot of love for him in the Queen City.
With that, the Bengals will rely on new additions Oren Burks, Demetrius Knight, and Barrett Carter to pick up the slack.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the news.
A natural question was whether the $5.6 million saved for cutting Pratt could be used to complete a new deal with Trey Hendrickson.
Could Pratt reunite with old friend Lou Anarumo?
People did notice a drop in his play this past season and mentioned that after hearing of his release:
Best wishes to Germaine at his next stop!
