Wasn't trying to be deliberately obtuse, just was having trouble remembering how many of each position they typically keep.

All good.  

Looks like they'll just keep the 3 TE and then have Hewitt contribute at TE as well. Probably try to put Lengel on the PS.

Yeah, normally roll with 4 RB, 3 TE, 1 HB/FB and I don't think that number changes this year.

They did go 5 WR last year, and I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the Bengals go 5 WR again with AJ/LaFell/Boyd/Core/Erickson. Wright probably had a chance at forcing them to go 6 WR, but he hasn't exactly been impressive with 5 catches/39 yards (7.8 AVG) in 4 games. I think he has one final year of PS eligibility, but even if he doesn't he hasn't made it painful to think of him being gone.

EDIT: I wouldn't mind kicking someone else off the roster if the Bengals can pick up Justin Hunter and go with 6 WR.
