The Cincinnati Bengals have released Dre Kirkpatrick.

Kirkpatrick was a first round pick in 2012 out of Alabama. Kirkpatrick started six games at cornerback in 2019 before suffering a season-ending knee injury on Nov. 10.

"Dre was a part of the Bengals' organization for many years, and displayed passion, energy and competitiveness both on and off the field," Bengals coach Zac Taylor said in a statement. "We appreciate his many contributions to our team and community over the years, and wish him the best moving forward."

The New England Patriots have released Stephen Gostkowski. 

Gostkowski won three Super Bowls with the Patriots.

Gostkowski was placed on injured reserve in October with a left hip injury.

The Los Angeles Rams have released Todd Gurley.

Gurley was owed an additional $10.5 million on Thursday with his roster bonus.

The Rams had attempted to trade Gurley over the past several weeks.

The Rams signed Gurley to a four-year, $57.5 million contract extension in 2018, but his production dropped dramatically since the middle of the 2018 season. During the 2019 season, Gurley ran 223 times for 857 yards with 12 touchdowns. In 2017, Gurley had 2,093 yards from scrimmage and 19 total touchdowns. Gurley had 1,831 yards from scrimmage and 21 total touchdowns in 2018.

The Denver Broncos are releasing Joe Flacco with a failed physical designation.

Flacco was placed on injured reserve last season with a herniated disk in his neck. Flacco will become an unrestricted free agent. 

Flacco was 2-6 as Denver's starting quarterback in 2019, throwing for 1,822 yards with six touchdowns and five interceptions.

The Broncos will save just over $10 million against the cap by releasing Flacco.
