Just read this on ESPN.com. He has declined rapidly. Not really surprised he got released:
In the first major surprise of the day, the Bengals informed halfback Rudi Johnson that his contract has been terminated.
His agent, Peter Schaffer, confirmed that the Bengals notified him that his client will no longer be with the team. Johnson was in the fourth year of a five-year, $20.7 million contract. Hamstring problems bothered him this summer, and injuries have been a concern for the past couple years.
Johnson came to minicamp in incredible shape. He added muscle and lost body fat.
The release of Johnson gives Chris Perry the starting job. He was scheduled to make $3.65 million this season.

As injury prone as those 2 are, maybe THEY are the ones that shouldn't be returning kicks...

Exactly....I like seeing Stanback returning kicks. Seems to have that Dieon buzz because of how athletic he is. Plus, if Felix is as big of an asset to the offense, I wouldn't want him returning many KOs as long as Stanback or Austin are healthy.

Yeah, I just wish they weren't so injury prone...
