Teams cut to 53 MEGA Thread - bfine32 - 09-02-2016
Figured I'd start a thread where we can post news thoughts and ideas of all cuts around the NFL and who could help the Bengals. Talk has been we are going to be more open to bringing in folks this year.
A couple cuts I've heard mention of that are of interest:
Manny Lawson/ Edge
Justin Hunter/ WR

Would be more likely to be Boom Herron, who Bills also cut. Herron was very good on special teams here. https://t.co/pGhkDNSceb

Dehner suggesting that Boom Herron might be a short term option to replace Peerman.

The link above is the cut tracker from NFL.com. They seem to be updating it pretty regularly.

James Wilder Jr. was cut today from the Bills. The Bengals liked him while he was on their PS.
He could be a candidate to return.

I'd take him as a long term option. Didn't he block two kicks in like 3 games for the Bengals? He also had some success as a RB for the Colts. Plus he's younger.
That's arguably a triple improvement over Peerman.

He certainly did in the playoff game against us...

I have been following his status for a while. I thought he would make the roster after the Titans traded Green-Beckham, but He still didn't make it.
Some team will grab him quickly. He would definitely improve our roster.
Career 68 rec, 1116 yds, 16.4 avg.
6'4", 200 lb freak athlete. 4.4 forty, 40" vert, 11'4" long jump

Man, would love to get Justin Hunter. Would be too good to be true.
Wouldn't mind us bringing in Boom for ST's and he would add some good depth and insurance at RB.

So, who would you cut to make room for Herron?
RE: Teams cut to 53 MEGA Thread - Crowe - 09-02-2016
Justin Hunter and Boom Herror could really help this team with depth

Put Carson on the PS and go 4 RB's like we did last year...
Hill, Bernard, Burkhead, Herron

So, are we then going with just 5 WR, or only 8 OL?
RE: Teams cut to 53 MEGA Thread - Bengal Dude - 09-02-2016
I won't be surprised if we bring back Herron. He's basically a younger Peerman.
RE: Teams cut to 53 MEGA Thread - NATI BENGALS - 09-02-2016
I liked Poutasi in the draft last year. Titans took him at 66 i think. Started games for them at RT last year. Weird for them to cut him so soon. Would give us emergency depth early. Long term we get him for 3 years on a rookie contract.
I also liked Pierre Desir the small school CB the Browns took awhile back. I thought he was progessing at CB. The Browns tried to change his position. If Lewis Harris injured...
RE: Teams cut to 53 MEGA Thread - Millhouse - 09-02-2016
Herron would see playing time immediately on special teams, so there is that for him. I wonder what is up with Hunter though. I know he got arrested last summer for a bar fight, and then went on IR near end of last year. Unless that ankle is still an issue or he has had other off the field stuff, I have to think he is an upgrade over our 4th or 5th receiver. But I wouldnt get him until he has cleared waivers.

Hoping for a DE to shake free.
RE: Teams cut to 53 MEGA Thread - guyofthetiger - 09-02-2016
Well, to add another player means the Bengals need to cut someone from the 53. I'm not sure who'd I cut because some of those guys worked hard to earn a spot during preseason. I guess we are weak at CB so maybe pick up one.

We don't really have to cut someone. Burfict's suspension and players going on IR (Jackson and Peerman) can't happen until after player cuts. So we cut 3 fewer players, put them on IR and the suspended lis,t and we have 3 open spots on the roster.

Nate has it right.

Why do they have to do either? The Bengals had 4 RB last year and many years previously and they were perfectly fine.
They don't have to go short on WR or OL, because their plan had always been to go 4 RB. It was going to be Peerman, then he broke his arm and it was going to Carson. Instead you just give it to Herron.
Not sure why you're trying to overthink it or make this way harder than it needs to be, Sunset. It's just a straight RB for RB swap roster-wise. Lol

True, but some of the 3 spots may be taken by guys who worked hard for the Bengals. In other words, 3 fewer opportunities for those that may have earned it.
