Now, on D, most guys got canned. I think we kept DB coaches & safety.
But it is a classic CYA move from a head coach. Firing key assistants buys you a year. If we are mediocre again, ZT is history.

LG Dylan Fairchild and RG Lucas Patrick were the first two guards up in the first 11 on air session.

It’s the offseason and a lot can happen from here but noteworthy.
O-line looked like this: RT Amarius Mims, RG Lucas Patrick, C Ted Karras, LG Dylan Fairchild and LT Orlando…

Cap hit now at $3.1 mil instead of $3.8.
Much ado about not much.

OL Cordell Volson signed a 1 year, $2.6M renegotiated contract with the #Bengals that includes $500k guaranteed, per-game active bonuses, & likely incentives.

The move frees up $516k of cap space for Cincy this season.

As to Volson I expect he is a reserve right now and want to see what Peters can do with him as probably his biggest issue was not getting low enough and giving up his chest to defenders. fix that and he looks a lot different as seen on the snaps where he did it right.
