Burrow's other leg is breathing a sigh of relief

I’m sure there will be some champagne bottles popping out there.

Cant be upset about dropping him, but there is a lot of rookie depth on this line which gets me nervous. Hope we found some gems but history says otherwise.

He looked better in preseason, but I wasn't a big fan of MJ when he was drafted either.

He played better this offseason for sure and he will get another crack, just wont be here.

To the person who was convinced he could play Center better than Hill....guess not.

Holy shit... I thought he played decent in the pre-season.

Do we have a signing in the wings or are we just not interested in depth on the interior Oline?

I was hoping he drew more trade interest but not surprising considering teams only really carry 9OL.

They are keeping 6 inside I’m guessing, how many guys do you think they are carrying?

Would not be surprised to see him land on the practice squad

Bengals coach Zac Taylor on why Mike Jordan slid down the depth chart: "Just consistency. That's the key term with all the interior players. And that's why you've seen those veterans get the latest stab at it."

I’d venture to say he doesn’t clear waivers.

Also it's about versatility in the backups both Jackson Carman and D'Ante Smith have T/G versatility and Trey Hill has C/G.

OT - Jonah, Reiff, Johnson
C - Hopkins, Hill
OG - Spain, XSF, Smith, Carman

I think these two recent moves (Price and Jordan) really illustrate just how little you can put into the news stories coming out of training camp and the preseason.

How many times have we heard Price was looking great, and he may start? How many times did we hear that Jordan was improving under the tutelage of Pollack? Now they're both gone in a matter of 24 hours.

This is why I warned people about the reports out of camp that Joe Burrow and the offense were struggling, or that Carman was a disaster. Good and bad, it seems we get sucked into these stories every year. The problem is we're listening to reports about practice, meaningless games, and from writers who are either relying on fluff or creating talking points for clicks and views.

This is why I don't buy anything I hear during this time year, and why I always say wake me up when the season starts. I don't want to hear about how good the defense is looking, or how bad Player X is playing. I just don't care. I don't believe any of it (positive or negative) until it actually matters.

I could see that, but i think they carry 10 OL, so I could see Fred sliding in the last OT spot.  I wasn't a fan of him last year, but he seemed "ok" in preseason.

Lol just another jewel in your crown oh wise one. Doesn’t mean Hill will be any better.

I dunno. I guess I'm just surprised they have decided that all of the back ups along the IOL will be rookies. That's putting a ton of faith in rookies.

Next year we'll lose XSF and Spain. Not sure I agree with selling youth for aged vets at the end of their career on 1 year contracts.

XSF didn't look that good in preseason. ZT is acting like Marvin with his vets being his security blanket. Not saying MJ should have started, but we had 2 more years left to develop him and now we have NO backups at guard come 2022. Looks like draft will be Oline heavy again.

I think Carman steals a starting job sooner than later so one of them will be a vet when that happens.

Actually, I think it's just the opposite. It is the reports on improvement in camp and his play in the pre season games that made Price worth another team trading for. For our team though, I think it was just a case of too little too late.

I'd venture to guess Adeniji technically is the 10th OL until after cuts, then he goes to IR.
