So i'm confused about status upon release.

Fournette was released, but will pass through waivers prior to becoming a free agent.
Wouldn't Reiff be in the same boat or is that because he's not on his rookie deal ??

Years of vested service.  Once you hit threshold (can’t remember) you become UFA instead of wavier wire

Fournette becomes UFA if he passes through wavier.

Their confidence in Finley as a #2 is a bit odd still, I know they like him cause they drafted him, but he was so bad last year, even behind a bad o-line as a rookie.  I think the Bengals' traditionally do not value the #2 QB enough.  Should've signed a vet that would be good for Burrow to learn the league from, not sure I understand putting a 1st and 2nd year player at QB to go along with a 2nd year HC.  They really need a lot of things to go right with that offense this year, there's not much depth and a rookie LT to boot.  It makes me lower my expectations, at least for now.

The Bengals today signed 14 players to the practice squad:

           -DE Freedom Akinmoladun (first-year, Nebraska)

           -QB Brandon Allen (fourth-year player, Arkansas)

           -DE Amani Bledsoe (first-year player, Oklahoma)

           -DE Kendall Futrell (rookie, East Carolina)

           -S Trayvon Henderson (second-year player, Hawaii)

           -WR Trenton Irwin (first-year player, Stanford)

           -OT Josh Knipfel (rookie, Iowa State)

           -DT Kahlil McKenzie (second-year player, Tennessee)

           -WR Stanley Morgan (second-year player, Nebraska)

           -HB Jacques Patrick (rookie, Florida State)

           -CB Winston Rose (first-year player, New Mexico State)

           -TE Mason Schreck (third-year player, Buffalo)

           -WR Scotty Washington (rookie, Wake Forest)

           -TE Mitchell Wilcox (rookie, South Florida)

All of the players noted above were with the Bengals during training camp. Cincinnati's practice squad currently is two spots shy of the 16-player limit.

Agree that if a team ever needed a vet backup QB, this is that team.  If Burrow goes out with injury, we need a player.  Finley did his job last year (losing every game to wrap up Burrow) but this year we actually want to win.  And I hope Jonah Williams can walk on water, as the Brown family seems to believe.

Not sure if this was already posted, but I hadn't seen it. Redmond is gone; Shaq Calhoun is in from Miami.

I have no idea if this is an upgrade, but it at least appears proactive.

Money move mostly I'm guessing.  Calhoun's a downgrade on paper, but I guess we'll see, don't expect much and hope he doesn't see the field.

Don't think they've wanted to pay a #2 since Kitna, when they used him on a friendly deal to transition Palmer.  I think it's a traditional Mike Brown thing to not pay for a back-up QB, he's all-in on his starter every year - it's that guy or literally bust. 

I don't like the talent drop-off to Finley, can't see him winning any games, showed nothing last year, his awful #'s bore that out, despite circumstances.  But whatever, it's a weird year and it is what it is etc..,
