There is a lot of speculation and emotion as we get down via cuts or trades by Saturday at 4:00.
I know some on here get info quicker via twitter or social media so I suggest we use this thread to track our info as it is likely some news may trickle out prior to the official announcement by the Bengals. A one stop thread versus 15 different threads I think would help us all.
So if you hear anything (valid and not rumors), please share in here with all of us as this year we have a solid roster so some good football players will be cut or traded to get us to 53.
Free Agency ain't over until it is over.

I guess all is quiet still on our roster movement.
I was hoping for a trade or 2, but knew that was being optimistic

Don't think we're making any moves today.

Looking that way
I just thought they may have started the process with a few guys and those guys would tweet something out because we know the Bengals FO will communicate on their terms only

I'm sure they're being made but won't announce at this time.

"Hey, [insert any backup O-lineman's name here], coach wants to see you. Bring your playbook."
We're excited about Eric Winston. That's not good, folks.

Greg Little was such a bonehead last season that I don't trust that this version is going to remain once he makes the roster. I have to give credit, though, that the guy played well and even looked good on special teams. Maybe he was humbled by last season's debacle.
I wonder if they will even try the PUP list on Ogbuehi or use the IR/designated to return option for him. If you have Burfict, Ogbuehi, Flowers, and maybe Porter on the PUP list, there will be a lot of guys to release at that sixth week.

Why? Did he stub his toe?
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

I'll buy the shameful news. Sad if true.
Opens the door even wider for CC though.

Wouldn't IR be a way that Flowers stays on the team another year?

Right. He would obviously rather be able to play but at least he won't be unemployed.

He probably would've made the team if healthy, I'm sure they'll want to see him again.

It is okay to talk about Rumours, but it is all just Second Hand News and Dreams. So Don't Stop. Just Go Your Own Way. But I am Never Going Back Again and I Don't Want to Know.

I'm rooting for Alford! I liked the way he looked this preseason.
