Bengals terminate WR Antonio Bryant’s contract

After participating in just one practice this preseason, the Cincinnati Bengals have terminated the contract of wide receiver Antonio Bryant, according to the team site. Bryant is been aggravated by a knee injury that bothered him throughout the 2009 season. Bob Glauber of NewsDay.com reported last week that a NFL source reported the team was ready to part ways with the injured wideout. Now, Bryant becomes a free agent once again—just over four months after signing with the team in March. He signed a four-year deal with the Bengals in March worth $28 million—including a $7.85 million bonus. While Cincinnati takes a huge financial loss for deciding to part ways, they still have an effective wideout to play alongside Chad Ochocinco in Terrell Owens—who signed with the team just a few days prior to the start of training camp.
