When we see these players is pre-season games, we'll know that the Bengals aren't serious about winning in Sptember.

Makes one wonder how bad BJ's foot injury is.

Not a big fan of any of these signings if I'm being honest but at this point in the year their probably the best signings a team can make.

Even when adding camp depth, they don't add any guards haha.

Raym can play guard as well as cente. He was a top rated guard coming out of high school and was converted to center his sophomore year of college
But, yeah, he isn’t a dedicated guard.

Taven Bryan seems to be the noticeable name, considering where he was drafted.

Adding two DL with 1st and 3rd round draft capital is better than nothing. They can push for back of roster consideration.
