Brandon LaFell is suddenly an experienced NFL wideout in search of a job.
The Cincinnati Bengals announced the release of the former LSU standout Thursday (Aug. 2). The release was unusual in its timing, as he had already been paid a $1.25 million roster bonus in March, according to ESPN.
"We want to thank Brandon for his contributions to Bengals," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said in a team release. "He has been a consummate pro and teammate, a strong voice on the team and a great mentor for the young players. We wish him and his family the best in the future.
