Bengals cut former first-round pick Kirkpatrick

NFL

Veteran cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick said Tuesday morning that he has been released by the Cincinnati Bengals.

Kirkpatrick, a former first-round pick in the 2012 draft, spent eight years with the Bengals.

The former Alabama product started six games at outside cornerback for Cincinnati in 2019 before he suffered a season-ending knee injury on Nov. 10.

During his time in Cincinnati, he started 67 games and made 99 appearances. He tallied 10 interceptions and 65 pass deflections.

On Tuesday, Kirkpatrick posted a goodbye note on Instagram thanking the city and his former teammates. His release comes on the heels of Cincinnati’s massive spending spree during free agency. Kirkpatrick, whose contract expired in 2021, will give the Bengals $8.3 million in cap savings in 2020.
