| Cincinnati, OH (MySportsbook) - The Cincinnati Bengals have released linebacker Brian Simmons, who had spent each of his nine NFL seasons with the club. Simmons was a first-round pick in 1998 and last season notched 78 tackles with two interceptions in 11 games. He missed five games because of a neck injury. "This was not an easy decision to make," said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis in a statement. "Brian has been a fine player on the field, and he has been a great example to all of our players as a team lea |

Coach Marvin Lewis said the decision came down to the money. ``This was not an easy decision to make,'' he said in a stat |

He signed with the Bengals as a free agent last February, when it was unclear whether Palmer would be recovered from reconstructive knee surgery in time for the season. Palmer made his comeback ahead of schedule and was ready for the opener. Johnson wound up being the No. 3 quarterback |
