Their Bengals Careers are Over

[CJD]

LS Clark Harris- hope he has a great retirement.  I would love to see he and Kevin Huber as "Rulers of the Jungle" next season
QB-Brandon Allen-so this was before he signed with the 49ers.  They had planned for him to move on
S  Brandon Wilson-he just wasn't a good enough S to hang on once he lost his return job
CB-Trey Flowers
CB-Chris  Lammons- he had 3 days before he was charged with assault
and
CB Eli Apple-so all the speculation can end.  Looks like unless someone gets desperate his NFL career is over


Mitchell Wilcox is still apparently in the mix

I'm bummed to see Harris and Flowers go. For Harris, it was time. For Flowers, I guess we've decided that Hill/Battle/Turner will take Flowers' snaps. I'll always remember Flowers shutting down TEs in the 2021 season, but his 2022 was pretty mediocre.

I'm partially bummed to see Apple go because I think he played well above his pay grade, but he was turning us into the villain of the NFL. And I get that that doesn't mean very much, but it still meant something. His snaps will go elsewhere this season, but he'll always be a phone call away if injuries occur.

Allen was a sub par back up QB who was only able to hang on to the job because of his role as mentor and coach's favorite. I hope his absence on the sideline does not negatively affect Burrow, but I don't expect it to.

Don't know who Lammons is, so don't care about that at all and Wilson contributed absolutely nothing to the team in his last 2 seasons. He was an overpaid return man who lost his return job. Glad to see him off the books.
