Bengals Off Season Recap as of June 5th
#1
This is a itemized list taken from Bengals.com transactions. Posted not for the fans on here who will say they know these names already. This is for the fans who maybe don't follow football or Bengals Board 365 days a year and wouldn't mind an off season list.

GONE :
QB-AJ McCarron to Buffalo Bills
DE-Chris Smith to Cleveland Browns
OT-Andre Smith to Arizona Cardinals
HB- Jeremy Hill to New England Patriots
C-Russell Bodine to Buffalo Bills
LB-Kevin Minter to New York Jets
LB-Carl Bradford
LB-Connor Harris
G-Oni Omoile
TE-Scott Orndorff
S-Robenson Therezie

Suspended first 4 games of season. His appeal has already failed :
LB-Vontaze Burfict.
3 of the first 4 games are road games.
Burfict could return in time for 4 of the next 5 games in THE JUNGLE including Pittsburg.

Should add Offensive Coordinator Bill Lazor in his first preseason here
Defensive Coordinator Austin from Detroit new to Bengals
Has Coached on 3 Super Bowl Teams, Seattle, Arizona, Baltimore.
Has learned coaching under Joe Paterno, Lloyd Carr, Mike Holmgren, Ken Whisenhunt, Urban Meyer, John Harbaugh.
Trying to fix O Line is new O Line Coach Frank Pollack from Dallas Cowboys.

New or Re-Signed Players :
OT/ OG- Bobby Hart from New York Giants
DT-Chris Baker from Tampa Bay Buccaneers
OT-Cordy Glenn from Buffalo Bills
P-Kevin Huber Bengals re-sign
LB-Preston Brown from Buffalo Bills
TE-Tyler Eifert Bengals re-sign
QB-Matt Barkley. Last team Chicago Bears
C- Billy Price
S-Jesse Bates
DE-Sam Hubbard
LB-Malik Jefferson
HB-Mark Walton
CB-DaVonte Harris
DT-Andrew Brown
CB-Darius Phillips
QB-Logan Woodside
G/T-Rod Taylor
WR-Auden Tate
TE-Moritz Bohringer
WR-Ka'Raun White
WR-Davonte Boyd
DE-Gaelin Elmore
OT-Austin Fleer
HB-Quinton Flowers
TE-Jordan Franks
S-Trayvon Henderson
LB-Junior Joseph
HB-Ray Lawry
DE-Ja'von Rolland Jones
LB-Chris Worley
S-Tyrice Beverette
C-Brad Lundblade
DT-Chris Okoye

I should point out that much has been made out of the RT position
Names that are here as Tackles are :
Jake Fisher
Austin Fleer
Cordy Glenn slated for Left Tackle
Bobby Hart who could be a starting Guard
Javarius Leamon
Justin Murray
Cedrick Ogbuehi
Kent Perkins
Rod Taylor
It's important to note Fisher & Ogbuehi still here to be coached up by new O Line Coach from Dallas Cowboys
One could earn RT with the other as a possible Guard. Look for Pollack to play only the best blockers from preseason.

Besides new Centers, there are returning Centers
Besides new Guards there are returning Guards
Besides new Tackles, there are returning Tackles
For this coach from Dallas Cowboys to fix worst blocking in NFL in 2017

I must also point out Bengals no longer bringing in undrafted players close to Cincy on the cheap
Use to be we saw many local college players fill out training camp as punching bags, no more
The players brought in are from all over and the scouts and coaches have a reason for them besides just close to Cincy
These coaches must see something in them to bring them in from all over USA

So it looks like a very interesting and competitive Training Camp and Preseason this Summer
Just a quick update and recap on June 5th of baseball, swimming, vacations and other things.
I will include that adding to the depth at WR is Boyd scored the winning TD Bomb in last game to beat Baltimore.
That pass from Dalton to Boyd remains last game winning play going into 2018.
This team is starting to have depth at positions again, which you need to make play-offs.
Since many of the coaches who started 2017 very badly are gone, 2018 should be a preseason of competitive changes.
The Team promised many changes after the 2017 season to get back to winning.
2018 should look like a different team of plays and players than the team that flopped starting 2017.
