Now that the official draft is almost over, it is time to begin to look forward to the 8th round...the UDFA's. The team has 69 players under contract, 8 draft picks, so can sign 13 UDFAs to meet the pre-season roster max of 90 I would think we should see several TE's among that group, unless Zac really does hates them.
reported signees
G Jaxson Kirkland-Washington
S Larry Brooks-Tulane
LB Shaka Heyward-Duke (Cam Heyward's cousin)
RB Jacob Saylors-East Tennessee
RB Calvin Tyler-Utah State
DT Devonnsha Maxwell-Tennessee Chattanooga
WR Shedrick Jackson-Auburn (Bo Jackson's nephew)
TE Christian Trahan-Houston
LB. Jaylen Moody-Alabama
Tashawn Manning 6'3 327 G perfect for power scheme and we met with him recently.
I wouldn't be surprised to see another QB brought into camp as well...even if only to be a camp arm

One day a fellow RedHawk will stick on the roster and excel with the Bengals.

Mac Hippenhammer
Gotta love that name. What would Berman have done to that in his heyday?

Fun RB pick-up. Has 2300+ yards and 25 TDs over the last two seasons with 6+ YPC. Not a stellar athlete and a smaller guy. He is 5'10 and 195. Ran a 4.62 forty. Production alone is worth a flier.
Like to see the UC TE get a chance
What happened with Kirkland? I seem to recall him being discussed as a 1st or 2nd round pick as a tackle a draft or so ago. Am I misremembering this?

That's the first thing I thought.

Looks like he might have been looked at as an early pick back in 2021 but he returned to school after suffering a severe ankle injury and moved inside to play G. Dropped out of the draft completely. NFL.com has him graded as a special teamer/backup.
Jalen Redmond would be nice !!
