The Facts: The Bengals released Little, a veteran who was inactive for five of the last seven games and only played in the Wild Card Game because of injuries, on Friday.

Diehards Line: Little's biggest moments as a Bengal came when he signed and then called out his former head coach in Cleveland, Mike Pettine, and when he had two huge catches in the win over Baltimore at PBS. The move foreshadows what should be an active week next week at Paul Brown Stadium in the run-up to the March 10 start of free agency. It's believed the Bengals are going to be taking some visits with some of players that joined Little this week on the street.
