Redmond Waived; Deion Calhoun Claimed - TheLeonardLeap - 09-06-2020
The #Bengals are waiving guard Alex Redmond, source said. He made 17 starts over the past two seasons. Some experienced O-line help available.

The #Bengals are claiming former #Dolphins G Deion “Shaq” Calhoun, source said. They have first waiver priority. This explains the Redmond move. https://t.co/jvrLc7iEID

I know nothing about this guy, but I think this falls under the same category of if they replaced Finley with a different backup. Anyone has to be better.
Amazing to me that someone in the FO actually valued Redmond at $2.13m this offseason only for him to be waived. Glad that they moved on, though.

How many penalties does getting rid of Redman eliminate?
RE: Redmond Waived; Deion Calhoun Claimed - pally - 09-06-2020
2nd year OG out of Mississippi State. Signed as a UDFA by Miami. Played 10 games last season starting 7. Best game was the game against us
RE: Redmond Waived; Deion Calhoun Claimed - Yojimbo - 09-06-2020
Doesn’t look like a great player either, but if stays healthy and doesn’t get 4 penalties a game, upgrade. Is this really the best they could do with the first overall claim?
RE: Redmond Waived; Deion Calhoun Claimed - pally - 09-06-2020
If he goes unclaimed anticipate Redmond being on the PS
RE: Redmond Waived; Deion Calhoun Claimed - Isaac Curtis: The Real #85 - 09-06-2020
10 minutes until practice squad?

Feel the same, this move saved some dough.

maybe 15
with the lack of moves from the waiver wire, it will be interesting to see how many players from other teams they sign. Because they don't have to be on the active roster this week, the PS will have a bit more flexibility to wait on COVID testing for inbound players
RE: Redmond Waived; Deion Calhoun Claimed - Isaac Curtis: The Real #85 - 09-06-2020
FWIW, PFF had Redmond at 50.6 last year.
RE: Redmond Waived; Deion Calhoun Claimed - Isaac Curtis: The Real #85 - 09-06-2020
The lack of activity on the waiver wire makes perfect sense given COVID & the lack of preseason games. Unless there is a clear uprade, or a salary/cap reason for a move, I expect most teams to retain their own guys, mostly.
Especially for undrafted FAs & guys with no/little NFL tape. Hard for teams to know they are an upgrade with no tape.

He only played in 3 games last year between his suspension and injury
RE: Redmond Waived; Deion Calhoun Claimed - impactplaya - 09-06-2020
Redmond just lacks the smarts to play at a high level. He was a constant drive killer
RE: Redmond Waived; Deion Calhoun Claimed - BacknDaDey - 09-06-2020
I'm not familiar with the PFF grading scale but 44.2 seems awful low to me. Especially since Calhoun started 7 games and played in 10. I'm not complaining about the pick-up. I'm guessing the Bengals saw something with the eye test.

I guess he had a good game vs us. Plus, he was available all of last year, didn't get caught doping (PED), and is 1/3rd of the cap hit.
A roughly equal player for less money and with less baggage.

Here's something I didn't know:
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>Another reminder, because the rules are asinine: teams can’t place players on the short-term IR until 4 pm. That conflicts with the noon waiver wire. It means if a team claims a player, they can’t make room for them by placing a player on the short-term IR.

Jville will sign Redmond. They.need to.bring in all the bums they can now. Wanna send your QB to.the ground.? Sign Redmind
RE: Redmond Waived; Deion Calhoun Claimed - Yojimbo - 09-06-2020
It is nice to see the team moving on from guys this year that have just hung around on the bottom of the roster and showed no signs of ever improving. Redmond, Glasgow (mostly injuries), Schreck. Now if we can just get Hart out of here...
RE: Redmond Waived; Deion Calhoun Claimed - impactplaya - 09-06-2020
Im.surprised the Redmond.fan.club.isnt griping over.this move

Hart has improved though but needs to continue to get better .
RE: Redmond Waived; Deion Calhoun Claimed - ezekiel23 - 09-06-2020
Glad to see Redmond gone.Consistant drive killing penalty machine.Now,if they would only play Fred Johnson in place of Hart.It’s only a matter of time before Johnson becomes the starter.
