The Cincinnati Bengals released a former Super Bowl offensive lineman in guard, Alex Cappa, on Monday.

Cappa, 30, played in the 2020 Super Bowl for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where he blocked for former quarterback Tom Brady. After four seasons with the Buccaneers, Cappa signed a four-year, $35 million deal with the Bengals in 2022. Cappa was a reliable starting guard for the Bengals with starts in all but one regular season game during his three-year stint with the team.
