Cincinnati Bengals Release Guard Alex Cappa in Roster Update

The Cincinnati Bengals have officially announced the release of offensive guard Alex Cappa, a significant move in their ongoing roster adjustments. Cappa had joined the Bengals in 2022 after an impressive tenure with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he played a pivotal role in their Super Bowl LV victory. His tenure with the Bengals included making appearances in 29 games and starting 28 of those, contributing to their offensive line’s stability. Coach Zac Taylor expressed gratitude for Cappa’s contributions, stating, ‘Alex has been a vital part of our team, and we thank him for his hard work and commitment. This decision allows us to create additional cap space as we approach free agency.’ The Bengals are looking to expand their financial flexibility and potentially pursue new free-agent players to strengthen their roster. Cappa’s release is anticipated to save the team approximately $6 million in cap space. Cappa himself said in response to the news, ‘I’m grateful for the opportunity the Bengals gave me and am proud to have been part of such a dedicated team. I look forward to what lies ahead.’ As the Bengals prepare for the off-season, this strategic change marks a critical step towards reshaping their squad for the upcoming NFL season.
