Bengals Waive Matt Lee, Boost Draft Focus

0:00On April 7th, the Cincinnati Bengals just waved center Matt Lee, their seventh round pick from the 2024 draft out of the Miami Hurricanes. He's heading into what would have been his third year in 2026 after suiting up for 22 games with just one start. This move caught some folks off guard since Lee could handle both guard and center spots, adding real depth up front.

Word is, Cincinnati's eyeing the draft later this month to grab at least one interior lineman and shore things up quick keeps the pressure on for a stronger front this fall. That wraps NFL news today, brought to you with AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
