Bengals cut veteran linebacker Maualuga

The Cincinnati Bengals announced the release of veteran linebacker Rey Maualuga on Saturday.
The move will save the team $3.75 million against the salary cap.
Maualuga's fate might have been sealed when the Bengals signed Kevin Minter to a one-year deal worth $4.25 million a week ago.
A second-round draft choice in 2009, Maualuga played in 114 games with 104 starts over eight seasons with the team, most of any Bengals linebacker in the Marvin Lewis era.
