2024 Bengals Free Agency/Roster Thread

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

I. Roster Tiers (53 + 2 PUP Available)

A.  Roster Locks/Starters (23): Burrow, Moss, Chase, Higgins, D. Sample, O. Brown, Volson, Karras, Cappa, T. Brown; Hendrickson, BJ Hill, Rankins, Hubbard, Wilson, Pratt, CTB, Turner, Hilton, Battle, Stone; McPherson, Adomitis.

B.  Roster Locks/Reserves (14): Browning, C. Brown, Burton, Irwin, Iosivas, C. Jones, Gesicki, Mims; Murphy; M. Jackson, Jenkins, ADG, V. Bell, D. Hill.  

Not sure about who the starter is at TE (D. Sample/Gesicki) or SS (Battle/Bell), but all are roster locks either way. Ditto at slot receiver (Burton, Irwin, C. Jones) and how DT shakes out between Hill, Rankins, Jackson, & Jenkins.

C.  Inner Roster Fringe (7): T. Williams, All (inj), Ford; C. Sample, Ossai, Bachie, Newton. 

D.  Outer Roster Fringe/Roster Bubble (18): Evans, Hudson, McLachlan, Carman, D. Smith, T. Hill, Lee; Johnson, Carter, Tufele, T. Bell, Harper, Ivey (inj), J. Davis, Anderson (inj), Anthony; Robbins, McNamara. 

Assuming both PUP spots are used, 11/18 from that last group make it. With 7 being excellent PS candidates. 

E.  Practice Squad Territory (25):
QB: Woodside, Lombardi
RB: Collins, Cain
WR: S. Jackson, Lassiter, Pryor, Wiglusz, Burgess
TE: Grandy
OT: Cochran, Miller
IOL: Kirkland, Gilliam;
DE: Gunter, Blazek
DT: D. Davis, Maxwell,
LB: Heyward, Njongmeta, Casey
CB: George.
S: Dowell, Robinson, Jules

My count is 87. 3 open spots. Let me know if I messed anything up.
