 Mike Hilton said his official goodbye to Cincinnati on Tuesday night through a post on his Instagram story. The longtime Bengals cornerback is still a free agent entering training camp.

Hilton was a staple in the Bengals' nickel cornerback spot since arriving in free agency from Pittsburgh in 2021. The 30-year-old has amassed six interceptions and 283 tackles over that period. Hilton has arguably been Cincinnati's best cornerback game-to-game, down-to-down this entire decade.

The veteran pass disruptor wrapped the final stint of a four-year, $24 million deal he signed with Cincinnati before they went to the Super Bowl in his first Queen City campaign.  Check out the post below:
