Alright. We're exploding with updates, so we need an open thread. Right? Right. Here we'll talk about all of the cuts, the change at ESPN's AFC North blog, the (not so) update on the Time Warner situation with the NFL Network and the contract extensions signed by the Bengals. Here's our run down.

Bengals have so far released Jay Finley, the team's seventh-round draft pick out of Baylor. Fui Vakapuna released his walking papers (again), as did linebacker DeQuin Evans and the oft-injured cornerback Brandon Ghee.

• UNCONFIRMED: Carson Palmer seen with his agent David Dunn at Paul Brown Stadium.
• No progress between Time Warner and the NFL Network.
• Why Kyle Cook extension is a good for the Bengals.
• The ESPN AFC North blog is seeing a change, with James Walker leaving for the AFC South.
