Final Roster Discussion

[skyline]

Looks like they'll try to PS Tate.

I understand the disappointment but I'm not going to get too worked up about a guy that would likely be inactive every week.

We've got other guys who can do what he does.

Agree

[AMPHAR]

Apparently Tate isn’t a special teams ace.   So that’s going to hurt him. 

[ArmyBengal]

Yep won’t get worked up about him either.

[membengal]

There’s nothing to indicate that Tate is cut other than Hobson speculation.

You doubt the Hobs!?!?

Blasphemer!!!

CJ Goodwin is the first confirmed casualty.

[skyline]

Hewitt gone.

I imagine that was a hard conversation to have, but it was clearly the right call.

A year too late, perhaps, but another sign that something has changed considering this in conjunction with Iloka LaFell.

Carson claims the 4th RB spot over Hill.

Wish we could sign Hill to the PS, but it seems unlikely.

They paid him gave him an extension but didn't even use him. So if they don't plan on using him then let him go.

Is there a fullback on this team, are they still going to use the TE as fullbacks. 

Didnt watch much preseason so I'm not sure what they will do.

[skyline]

Mason Shreck (sp?) appears to be the guy. Likely would have been Cethan Carter before he went onto IR.

[volcom69]

Mike Johnson was also cut. Probably expected with the play of these young guys. Always liked MJ and hope does great with whatever he decides to do.

[skyline]

Another move I wanted them to make but didn't expect them to.

This team has changed, folks.

[membengal]

Tate was not cut.

[skyline]

Neither was Core. Nobody expected both to stick.

There's a lot of roster shuffling still. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out.

[volcom69]

Sounds like Core might not be ready yet to play.

[skyline]

Marvin said they'll be actively looking for CB depth on the waiver wire, so it'll be a few days before the dust settles.

[AMPHAR]

Did they only keep 8 D-line?

Yeah and kept Josh Tupou over Andre Brown a 5th rounder

first 53 player cuts

[GapControl]

As of now, the Bengals have 6.1 million in dead money but just over 20 million in cap space

I remember when they drafted Michael Johnson, dude was a physical freak.  Good luck to him, good dude.

Also, Cedric Ougbuehi is some sort of magician.

[ArmyBengal]

LaFell, Iloka, MJ, and Hewitt all gone for younger players ?? Where did this come from ?? I have to admit that I love it. For too long we’ve sat and watched talented young guys sit on the sidelines or not be active on game days. It appears that has changed this year with a bunch of new coaches.

Makes me happy !!!

It’s his magical 1.6 mill dead money trick
