The Cardinals have the opportunity to add a productive veteran inside linebacker. The Cincinnati Bengals will release linebacker Germaine Pratt, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The move did not appear on Monday's NFL transaction list.

The Cincinnati Bengals are releasing linebacker Germaine Pratt, two people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press.

In the wake of a youth movement with Golden's arrival, the Bengals drafted Demetrius Knight in the second round and Barrett Carter in the fourth, plus added Oren Burks and Joe Giles-Harris in free agency to rebuild the unit around Logan Wilson. The Bengals save roughly $5.8 million in cap space with Pratt's release.
