The Facts: The Bengals have decided to part ways with Pryor. The team announced Pryor’s release on Thursday after they wrapped up their offseason program. The move leaves the Bengals with Andy Dalton, A.J. McCarron and Josh Johnson at quarterback as they head toward training camp.

Diehards Line: It also leaves Pryor’s hopes of a lasting NFL career in a particularly dim spot. He had been the team’s third quarterback earlier in the offseason, but Johnson jumped him on the depth chart at minicamp to foreshadow his departure from the Cincinnati roster. Meanwhile, agent Drew Rosenhaus told Profootballtalk.com there is extensive interest in Pryor as a receiver. We'll see if that gets him another shot.
