Mon Mar 03 15:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Bengals Release Veteran Guard Alex Cappa, Clearing $8 Million in Cap Space
**Cincinnati, OH** – The Cincinnati Bengals announced Monday the release of veteran offensive guard Alex Cappa, freeing up $8 million in salary cap space. Cappa, who signed a four-year deal with the Bengals in 2022, started all 50 games he played for the team. His tenure was unfortunately cut short by an ankle injury late in his first season, preventing him from participating in the Bengals’ playoff run.
The move leaves the Bengals with a need at both guard positions heading into the 2025 season, as fellow starting guard Cody Ford is also set to become a free agent. The team will now look to the open market or the draft to fill these crucial roles on their offensive line.
