Taylor Mays cut - cinci4life - 07-23-2016

RE: Taylor Mays cut - BengalChris - 07-23-2016
Excellent! I was shocked that we went out and signed him to begin with.
RE: Taylor Mays cut - SunsetBengal - 07-23-2016
With his suspension, and the fact that he fills a niche role, I am not surprised that he was cut.
RE: Taylor Mays cut - GreenCornBengal - 07-23-2016
We did the NFL a favor by releasing him so late. We probably saved some poor rookie from getting a concussion in preseason.
RE: Taylor Mays cut - pally - 07-23-2016
that means we have 2 open roster spots that can be filled before camp starts
RE: Taylor Mays cut - CincyKid - 07-23-2016
Leon & Freeney ?

"The Bengals are expected to sign former University of Calgary wide receiver Rashaun Simonise if he passes his physical when the rookies report."
Leon OR Freeney *Corrected

Oh Thank God
RE: Taylor Mays cut - BoomerFan - 07-23-2016
I think we all knew this was coming. I don't hate the guy or anything but I'm glad to know the rest of our safeties/nickle LBs are good enough that keeping him wasn't a priority.
RE: Taylor Mays cut - CINwillWIN - 07-23-2016
bfine will bupset...
A lot of the 52 mocks had him as a cut victim, so it makes sense.
Welcome back Leon?
RE: Taylor Mays cut - Gohards - 07-24-2016
Oh no. Were doomed
RE: Taylor Mays cut - J24 - 07-24-2016
He is a good nickle LB but at safety he is terrible though. Not surprised he was cut.
RE: Taylor Mays cut - grampahol - 07-24-2016
I didn't think he was going to be around long, but someone will probably sign him for depth before the season starts or shortly thereafter..For that matter the Bengals might pick him back up later if injuries occur..
My bold prediction... if we sustain injuries and some other team signs him someone here will type 'Dammit, we should have kept Mays!'
RE: Taylor Mays cut - Southendbengal - 07-24-2016
I think the suspension really meant that Taylor had to really out perform most in camp to have a chance of making the roster.

Yeah, on his own team

If his back checks out, or even if he is designated the original 6 game PUP list, I would absolutely sign Hall. Has excellent instincts and the experience to help out at slot CB...could even play safety in a pinch.

My feelings exactly. I am not anti-Mays, but I am glad we have enough talent that we did not need to keep him around.
RE: Taylor Mays cut - Shake n Blake - 07-24-2016
I honestly don't think anyone else will sign Mays. He sat around before the Vikings signed him. He sat around before we brought him back. So unless Zim brings him back - again - it'll almost be like a Chris Crocker situation, where we can call him up later in the season (after his suspension) if needed.
The only difference is that Crocker was actually a decent player.
RE: Taylor Mays cut - CageTheBengal - 07-24-2016
The team's backpack collection just plummeted with the loss of Taylor Mays.

He could be the next Newman
