There's something almost sad when you see players who should have retired from the game trying to hang just one more season only to get cut at the beginning of the season. I guess the possibility of one more million dollar paycheck outweighs going out with a shred of dignity..

Agreed. I thought Dielman was going to make it, especially seeing Winston got the boot. If you're not handpicked by Alexander the Great, you can hit the bricks. Plus, Alexander probably didn't want Bodine to be nervous. That's his boy.

Somebody probably already mentioned it, but Eric Winston and Wallace Gilberry are the first two cuts.
If Winston is out, we have to get a backup tackle somewhere...right?

I saw that. He was one of my favorites coming in the draft. Thought he would have been a nice grab in the 4th round.
Heh. Guess I was wrong. Not the first time, nor the last.

They really were not exaggerating when they said this past year's Oline class was awful haha.

Orlosky could have been a case of injury. Says he had an MCL injury in the Spring, and never really got back into the race during preseason.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Andre would be first backup. Probably why he was getting reps at lt.

Bah, you're like the people who were saying Rocky should have retired halfway through Rocky III, or something.

Oh how I wish I could get behind this sarcasm. The way I see it, we keep Elliot and if he's as bad as he has been then Bullock or Nugent should be available and we can pick them up.

Mike Nugent is a free agent.
Ultimate Bengal move coming up... We cut both Bullock and Elliot and resign Nugent.

That would be one of the best trolljobs ever by a team. Cut the two kickers fans were divided on, only to bring back the one kicker everyone wanted out.

Gotta admit, never been so disappointed by a kicker being cut.

The Fat Randy era continues! Welp, I'd rather go with Elliot but I admit I'm more into interesting things than "good" things in this case.
