Apart from bottom of the roster positions the offense seems pretty much set.
Defense, on the other hand, is going to be one hell of a battle during camp. There are 13 DLs that could all make a case for a spot, 7 LBs and 7 CBs with either high draft picks invested in them or actual starting experience on other squads. Safety is probably the weakest spot on the team for depth but we are returning all four from last year and they were part of a high ranked Defense, so we can't complain much there.
Big storylines: is this the end for Brandon Thompson? Pat Sims? DeShawn Williams? Will Bene Benwikere earn a spot and if so, who misses out (will Jones gets league punishment or Dennard or Russell get cut?) Who will be our returners and does this mean Alex Erickson will be moved on after the best year for a Bengal returner in who knows how long? Oh, and do we have an OL worthy of the name (but you knew that one already!)?
