Cody Ford Terminates Contract with Cincinnati Bengals
In a surprising turn of events, offensive lineman Cody Ford has decided to terminate his contract with the Cincinnati Bengals for the current NFL season. Ford, who joined the Bengals in a bid to strengthen their offensive line, has opted to part ways with the team, leaving the Bengals with a gap to fill on the roster.
Details surrounding Ford’s decision remain unclear, but sources suggest it was a mutual agreement between the player and the franchise. Ford, originally drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, has struggled to find consistent form in recent seasons, despite his considerable potential.
This move comes as the Bengals are still in the hunt for a playoff spot, with their offensive line being a critical area of focus moving forward. Team officials have yet to comment on how they plan to adjust their lineup after Ford’s departure, but the Bengals will likely look to free agency or internal options to replace the veteran lineman.
Ford’s termination of his contract signals another unexpected shift in a season already full of changes for the Bengals. Fans will be closely watching the team’s response as they continue their push for postseason contention.
