D Jizzy Watson, the gift that keep on giving...laffs to the rest of the AFCN. The Clowns are already $44 million over next season's estimated cap, so most of that will be rolled over and soaked up without any other benefit to the team. The restructure also didn't add any additional years to Watson's contract (tho they did add a void year in last year's restructure), so yeah: Insane. Dumbest contract ever remains the dumbest contact ever.

Play, don’t play, I really don’t give a shit anymore.

NT added to the PS. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/justin-rogers/3200524f-4744-2916-1923-0e3e11415928 He was one of their top 30 visits before the draft so they’ve has their eye on him for a while. Wouldn’t be surprised if he is the other guy they do the call up/send down bit with.

Because he sucks. Seriously, that’s the reason. Williams has enough time that he doesn’t go to waivers, he’s just a FA. And since he sucks, no one is going to offer him a big contract. So he’s completely safe to release. After the waiting period they will bring him back on the PS, then over the next three weeks they will play the call him up/send him down game. By the time they have to open a roster spot for him in week four someone will likely have been hurt and gone to IR, so they’ll be a spot. (And in the happy event that doesn’t happen they will have a better idea of who they can live without.)

Boooooooooo! Gawd damnit he sucks! What the f does it take to get rid of this guy?

My bengals bookface group says Trayveon has been waived. They would have to make space for Henry but kind of odd this is who they’d let go…

Shedrick Jackson, Jalen Davis, Devin Cochran all back on the PS. Also they signed TE Cam Grandy to the PS, because you can never have enough tight ends.

Henry is a good pickup. I could see him sticking around even after Murphy returns.

Mike at every owners meeting.

Nick Vigil now available cheap!

Well, if you’re eating glass that might be your problem. I mean, I get that the Bengals’ cafeteria gets low grades but c’mon, you can always hit up Chad for a ride to Mickey D’s.

Denver released Perine, so I guess we will see if there is interest there.

Siaki Ika? My understanding is that he was a total bust but may as well kick the tires. I guess.

Always appreciate the enthusiasm! I think this is best done as a single thread versus 13 separate posts, tho. Looking forward to the next entry.

Attention COB, attention COB, John Ross has been cut in Philadelphia, will be available this weekend for hedge-trimming duties.

Apparently he’s a taxi squad priority so we’ll all have the chance to not get to know him a lot more!

In lighter news, the factory of sadness up north is reportedly looking to trade both Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley before 4 today. Who exactly will start week 1 isn’t clear as Thompson-Robinson got the primary nod in preseason and Jizzy D Watson (shoulder) was only cleared for contact a week or two ago.

LB Shaka Heyward, DT Travis Bell, OL Trey Hill all reportedly out.

Malik Jefferson got cut in Detroit today. Was on IR so not even sure he’s healthy.

Here’s another blast from drafts past: Chargers cut Alex Leatherwood. Another alleged stud turned dud.

According to nfl.com the Bengals have cut S PJ Jules. Whoever that is.

Another former Bengal cut, Tre Flowers, down in Jax. No particular interest, we are overstocked at DB, but figured I would toss it in here. Also a report floating around that Njongmeta has made it through the initial cutdown to 53: https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/news/report-cincinnati-bengals-preseason-standout-maema-njongmeta-makes-initial-53-man-roster-01j6a08xckky

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/27/nfl-private-equity-ownership-vote.html It will be interesting to see if Mike is willing to sell a piece of the team.
