After just one season with the Cincinnati Bengals, linebacker AJ Hawk was released by the team Tuesday.
The Bengals announced the move after Alex Marvez of FoxSports.com was the first to report the organization's decision to part ways with the 32-year-old veteran.
After spending the first nine seasons of his NFL career with the Green Bay Packers, Hawk signed a two-year, $3.25 million deal with his home-state Bengals last offseason, according to Spotrac.com.
Although the Ohio State product started 11 games for Cincinnati, he failed to make a sizable impact, as he recorded just 24 tackles and one sack.
