Back-up QB Terrelle Pryor released by Cincinnati; wants to become WR

[Auggie]

Waived by the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday, Pryor wants to be considered as a wide receiver, agent Drew Rosenhaus told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport.

Before latching on with the Bengals in early May, Pryor had said, "If I can't play quarterback, I can't play football."

The NFL has essentially informed him that he can't play quarterback.

The Bengals were his last shot, as offensive coordinator Hue Jackson has been one of his biggest boosters. Jackson was head coach in Oakland when the Raiders selected Pryor in the 2011 Supplemental Draft.

You would think he'd try the CFL before giving up.
