Former Florida QB Jeff Driskel has been with the Cincinnati Bengals since 2016 after he was a sixth-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers in the 2016 NFL Draft.
Now, though, Driskel is looking for a new NFL home, as the Bengals announced on Wednesday that they were cutting ties with him.

Driskel appeared in 9 games for the Bengals in 2018, starting 5 of them. He threw for 1,003 yards, 6 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.
He tried to make a switch to wide receiver this offseason, per NFL.com, but it appears that experiment is now over.
