Thought I'd start a quick thread on the state of the roster as FA marches on.
Now, we already have more than 53 players signed, but I broke it down into two categories: 53 man roster 0layers & Practice Squad players. It does not mean, that all the 53 man guys will still be here in September, nor that the PS guys will all fail to make the 53, but just getting the lay of the land.
I. 53 Man Roster: Signed Players
A. Offense = 21.
1. QB (1): Burrow
2. RB (3): Mixon; T. Williams (KR1), Evans (KR2)
3. WR (6): Chase, Higgins, Boyd; Irwin, Morgan, Taylor (PR)
4. TE (1): Asiasi
5. OT (6): Brown, J. Williams; Collins (I), Carman, Adeniji, Smith
6. OG (2): Cappa, Volson
7. C (2): Karras, T. Hill
B. Defense = 24.
1. DE (5): Hendrickson, Hubbard; Ossai, C. Sample, Gunter
2. NT/DT (5): Reader, BJ Hill; Tupou, Carter, Tufele
3. LB (5): L. Wilson, Pratt; ASG, Bailey, Bachie
4. CB (5): Awuzie (I), CTB, Hilton; George, J. Davis
5. S (4): D. Hill; Anderson, B. Wilson, Thomas
C. Special Teams = 3.
1. PK (1). McPherson.
2. P (1): Chrisman
3. LS (1): Adomitis
II. Practice Squad Players = 13
1. Jake Browning, QB
2. Kwamie Lassiter, WR
3. Tanner Hudson, TE
4. Nick Bowers, TE
5. Devin Cochran, OT
6. Nate Gilliam, G
7. Ben Brown, C
8. Raymond Johnson III, DE
9. Owen Carney, DE
10. Dominique Davis, DT
11. Keandre Jones, LB
12. Marvell Tell, CB
13. Yusuf Corker, S

LOL practice Pkayers …. don’t know how many times that’s happened to me

Cody Ford signed.

Not a fan of the acquisition. He does have G/OT flexibility. But a worse player than Scharping. YMMV, of course. Hope it turns out better.

Just read where Pollack said we are moving Jonah to RT to compete with La El Collins. Love this. It’s survival mode for both veterans. Better get your act together. I’m confident that our OL issues are way behind us. Finally. I feel great about Volson with a huge leap in 23. He played FCS . He was a rookie. He’s bound to take a leap.

Yep we all expected it but hearing it was good. I like the idea of one emerging to be solid and Collins not practicing means he’s got real competition as does Jonah. Damn good situation. And I think contrary to some that Volson takes a huge leap. Good grief he played FCS and was a rookie. I’m fired up.

For me, I'd rather see Carman at RT. Jonah & Collins should be in their last years this year.
I get wanting to get value out of them, but the best guy should play.

For contract purposes if we are resigning Burrow, Chase, and Higgins. We have to hope some of these young lineman develop. We need Jackson to win the rt spot. Take a legit look at him who we’ll have for 2 more years. We can’t keep making free agent splashes on the Oline. We need not to have to spend big to replace Cappa, Karras, Collins, or Williams when there time comes. Have to spread the money around.
Jackson ascending (wishful) and winning the RT spots would buy us an extra year to drat and develop center and rg spots.

It could be a catch-22 with Jonah this year. If he turns in a good year as a RT, which is what we want, he may well leave via free agency at the end of the year because he wants to play LT and get LT money. It he turns in a poor year, the Bengals may not want him.
I wouldn't mind to see Carman or someone from the draft turn out to be the better RT, so there is longer-term stability at the position.

Hey, my ole buddy JJ22 is back and being rational again, I like it.

Best case scenario is Carman becomes a stud RT for us and we have him here for as long as we have Orlando Brown or longer.
And of course, Pollack starts developing Volson and other young Lineman into solid players from now on.

We do not have a RT next season, no reason not to keep LC on his team friendly deal as insurance for 2024.

Glad to see the team finally accepting he isn't a franchise LT, better late than never.
The competition should be good for Carman, Collins and Jonah. Have to think that Smith is on the bubble of P.S. or not having a spot at this point.
I think with a season under his belt, an off-season NFL program and just being more up to speed Volson has a shot to really impress this season.

He could be done, but we should wait and see, the savings does not outweigh the benefit in the event he does heal up.

I think competition has been needed for awhile. But I like a battle of Carman, Collins, and Jonah. Collins needs it as the staff was worn out he never practiced even if legit. Just frustrating even if warranted and approved. He needs it. Jonah is a good dude and he doesn’t need it but it’s still good. Carman needs it for a second contract.
