Overview
- Cincinnati announced it waived center Matt Lee, a 2024 seventh-round pick who appeared in 22 games with one start.
- Lee saw little offensive action for Cincinnati, totaling 27 snaps as a backup to veteran starter Ted Karras and playing mostly on special teams last season.
- His release comes midway through a four-year, $4.1 million rookie contract, ending his Bengals stint after two seasons.
- Depth has tightened inside after guard Lucas Patrick signed with the New York Giants, even as the team brought back Dalton Risner.
- Reporters expect the Bengals to target an interior lineman in the draft or via another signing to reinforce depth as the 33-year-old Karras anchors the position.
