Cincinnati Bengals Waive Receiver Trenton Irwin

The Cincinnati Bengals have waived wide receiver Trenton Irwin after six seasons with the team, where he established himself as a reliable target, particularly in 2023 with a career-high 25 receptions. Despite a promising start, Irwin's performance declined this season, leading to limited game time and ultimately his release. He expressed his thoughts on the move via Instagram, stating, 'When people no longer see you the way you see yourself it’s a clear sign that it’s time to go.' In a corresponding move, the Bengals signed linebacker Shaka Heyward off the practice squad to bolster their roster. Irwin's future remains uncertain as he is subject to waivers and could become a free agent if not claimed. His time with the Bengals included significant contributions, but recent inactivity led to this roster decision.
