Updated: 3:05 p.m.
A few hours after A.J. Nicholson pleaded not guilty to a domestic violence charge Monday, the Bengals released the lb.
Although the mother of his two-year-old child recanted her statement from Friday that Nicholson hit her, Kenton District Court Judge Douglas Grothaus chose not to drop the case and set a pretrial hearing for May 31, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer.

Under the NFL?s collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Players Association, teams can only release players for lack of talent.
Even before Friday it?s believed Nicholson would have had a difficult time making the roster.

Bengals release LB Nicholson
Backup player pleads not guilty to domestic abuse
BY MARK CURNUTTE
Only hours after he pleaded not guilty to a domestic violence charge, linebacker A.J. Nicholson was waived Monday afternoon by the Bengals.
The Bengals cut ties with a second-year player who had as many arrests as games played in his short tenure.
"The Bengals today waived LB A.J. Nicholson," the club statement said. "Nicholson is a second-year NFL player in 2007. As a rookie last season, he played in two games (no statistics) and was inactive for 14 games."

Violation lands Nicholson in jail
BY JIM HANNAH | [email protected]
A.J. Nicholson was freed on a $500 bond after being arrested in Kenton County on a charge of domestic violence.
He did not get that opportunity in Florida.
Law enforcement officials in the Sunshine State confirmed Friday that the former Bengal was being held in the Leon County, Fla., jail for allegedly violating his parole. He will remain behind bars until a probation revocation hearing, Florida officials said.
The Bengals organization waived the linebacker Monday.
Nicholson was put on two years' probation in Florida after serving a 60-day sentence at a sheriff's work camp last year for breaking into the apartment of a former Florida State teammate.

O'Neal hoping to be cornerstone of defense again

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Deltha O'Neal
CINCINNATI -- Carson Palmer said that when he thinks of the Bengals defense, Deltha O'Neal is one of the first players who pop into his mind.
That may have been a good thing after the 2005 season.
But to be the reigning poster boy of the Bengals defense now doesn't elicit such warm feelings.

Linebacker learning ropes
Brooks still rising to meet expectations in his second year

Neal C. Lauron DISPATCH
Ahmad Brooks, standing up the Panthers' DeShaun Foster during a game Oct. 22, has the talent to end the Bengals' revolving door at middle linebacker.
CINCINNATI -- In terms of physical gifts, Ahmad Brooks has it all.
But in the NFL, it's not all about, Does he have it? In some cases, and certainly in Brooks', the pressing question is, Does he get it?
Put more bluntly, does he have the maturity to convert his immense talent into the type of production and leadership the Bengals need at middle linebacker?

Not exactly from a major news source, but looks like Odell is at it again:
Odell Thurman in Trouble Again?
Allegations he was involved in an altercation on Sunday and charges are likely to follow.

Head Coach
Marvin Lewis came off as pretty ridiculous last week with his comments regarding arrests and if "any players in the locker room had been arressted this year". Ummm, no Marvin, none have been arressted thus far this year, b/c you just released the dude you guys drafted who allegedly raped a chick in college, stole from a teammate, and got tasered at a club. Congrats on the strong message sent to your team for cutting a reserve linebacker who will be arressted yet again in 7 or 8 months if you believe in the law of averages. If the report circulating about Odell Thurman assaulting the guy in Georgia proves to be true, there will definateky be a lot of egg on his face.
