The Cincinnati Bengals have been known to put up with legal investigations and allowed the process to play out. It seems like they are willing to put up with a lot less, as of late, especially with their current depth.
On Saturday it was announced the Bengals had released Taylor Mays, who was already suspended for four games for Substance Abuse Violation.

He is expected to face a second violation of the NFL’s Drug Policy ,which means he could miss all of two games this season.
The Bengals also cut rookie CB Corey Tindale after he was robbed at gun point during a poker game in West Virginia. It was a move that kept the Bengals away from any wrongful activities that could have occurred in the incident. Corey tweeted an apology after being let go.
