For my money, Wren was already on the outside looking in.
Pre-trade/ Ossai injury, I thought we'd keep 10: Hendrickson, Reader, Ogunjobi, Hubbard; Ossai, Tupou, Daniels, Sample, plus Shelvin & Kareem or Hodge. Ogunjobi did not play the first pre-season game and Tupou started next to Reader, and got the starter treatment (2 series/6 snaps). That was a tell for me. He is ahead of Daniels & Wren. Nothing since has changed that in my view.
With Ossai's injury, I think both Kareem and Hodge make it. Spence had a stupid penalty that should get him cut. On the interior, Reader & Ogunjobi will start. The Bengals just drafted Shelvin, he ain't getting cut, and Tupou seems ahead of Daniels & Wren at DT (and he is a mire natural NT). Keeping 3 NT types and living with 2 3Ts always seemed the likely scenario, especially when Tupou started at 3T. Sample/Hubbard/Kareem will move inside for obvious pass rushing downs. Hill looks to be an upgrade on Daniels & Wren, who both will likely get cut. Though I could see either/both on the PS.
On offense, I think this means Trey Hill obviously makes the roster as the backup C. Jonah, Spain, Hopkins, XSF, Reiff + Smith, Carman, Hill, Jordan + Johnson/Prince.
FWIW, Price was due to make around $3.7 mil this year. Trey Hill $700,000. On the other side, BJ Hill makes $2.4 mil, Daniels $1.4 mil. If that is how the cookie crumbles, we save around $2 mil.
