The Facts: Perry became the first first-round pick of the Marvin Lewis era to be cut Monday when the Bengals ended his injury-riddled five-year career in Cincinnati.

Diehards Line:Perry, the first pick in '04, played in just 35 games and rushed for 606 yards after missing all but two games of his rookie year and the entire 2007 season. He started the first six games of last season but was benched in favor of Cedric Benson when fumbles and a 2.6-yard per rush doomed him.
