The Bengals have released wide receiver Darnay Scott, saving $3.2 million under the salary cap now that they have picked up free agent receiver Michael Westbrook, ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reported.

Scott has skipped the Bengals' offseason workouts and has had a contentious relationship with the team.

ESPN.com's John Clayton reports the team is listing Scott on the wavier wire under "failed physical," but that Scott's agent, Rocky Arceneaux, says Scott simply was not around to take the exit physical and does not have any physical problems.

Arceneaux says Scott had some shin splint problems earlier this offseason but is healthy now. Scott has been working out on his own in the St. Louis area this offseason.
