he was finally released today after so much troubles in cincy with injury and other factors he was a former 1st round pick who was beat out by chad who was a second.
He wasnt just beat out by Chad Johnson, he was also beat out by T.J. Houshmanzadeh and Kelley Washington. Peter Warrick will go somewhere and be a decent #3 WR, but he will never be a superstar or probably not even a starter again in his career(unless he goes to Philly )
Peter Warrick still is pretty good. I think Philly will pick him up. Either that or they'll try to get Price from the Falcons.
Complete Story<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Warrick asked to be released on Tuesday--------------------------------------------------------------------------------By Len PasquarelliESPN.comWide receiver Peter Warrick, the fourth player selected in the 2000 draft, was apprised Tuesday morning by the Cincinnati Bengals that he will be released later in the day as the club reduces its roster to the mandatory 65-player limit. The release of Warrick, who appeared in only four games in 2004 because of leg and shin injuries, was not altogether surprising. The five-year veteran missed much of camp as he rehabilitated from his injuries and appeared in just one of Cincinnati's three preseason contests. At various times in camp, coach Marvin Lewis hinted broadly that he felt Warrick might not have been as diligent as necessary in his rehabilitation. Lewis noted to ESPN.com in a training camp visit that the Bengals staff, at that point, was preparing as though Warrick might not be available. Certainly there were less than subtle hints that Warrick would not be a part of the team's plans for 2005, particularly given the Bengals' new-found depth at wide receiver. On Monday, when he returned to practice for the first time in a week, Warrick made a public request that, if the Bengals were going to jettison him, they do so in this first round of cuts, rather than wait until the weekend, when rosters must be pared to 53 players, the NFL regular-season limit. "If they're going to let me go, let me go [Tuesday]," Warrick said Monday after practice. "Don't let me go the last week. Don't do me like that. That's disrespectful to me. Let me go [Tuesday]. It's been decided. I just don't know what they've decided." Speculation has been rife for weeks that Warrick, with a base salary of $2.28 million for this season, would be either released or traded. It is believed that a few teams, notably the New England Patriots, showed some interest in acquiring Warrick, but a deal was never consummated. The former Florida State standout, if healthy, as he has claimed, should generate solid interest in the open market. Warrick, 28, enjoyed a career best season in 2003, with 79 receptions for 819 yards and seven touchdowns. For his career, Warrick has 264 catches for 2,811 yards and 18 scores, having appeared in 66 games, with 55 starts. Never as fast as advertised when he came out of college, Warrick nonetheless has good quickness and finally flourished when the Bengals moved him from an outside receiver spot and into the slot position.</div>
