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.

Final cuts: *Placed two players on the Reserve/Injured list: DE Myles Murphy (knee; designated for return) P Brad Robbins (quadriceps; designated for return) *Placed one player on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list: CB DJ Ivey (knee) *Terminated the contracts of two vested veterans (NOTE: These players are released to free agency and thus free to sign with another team or to re-sign with the Bengals): CB Jalen Davis QB Logan Woodside *Waived 16 players: DT Travis Bell CB Nate Brooks WR Cole Burgess OT Devin Cochran HB Elijah Collins DT Carlos Davis DT Domenique Davis C Nate Gilliam TE Cam Grandy LB Devin Harper LB Shaka Heyward C Trey Hill WR Shedrick Jackson S PJ Jules WR Kendric Pryor CB Lance Robinson (Waived/Injured) https://www.bengals.com/news/bengals-reduce-final-roster-to-53-players

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.

Perine would be an upgrade over Trayveon but I’m not trading for him.

The Enquirer reminds me of the rule change this year. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/nfl/bengals/2024/08/26/what-to-know-about-bengals-key-decisions-before-roster-cutdown/74953637007/

CeeDee Lamb gets paid https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/41003743/sources-cowboys-ceedee-lamb-agrees-four-year-136m-deal

Lee is a pure center. That’s why he was there so late. Teams usually want their backup C to be G or OT too. At this point I don’t think they can risk trying to get him on the PS.
