And as far as I'm tracking only 5 confirmed:


Bengals RB Pooka Williams

Bengals DB Antonio Phillips
Bengals TE Mason Schreck
Bengals WR Trent Taylor
Bengals OL Michael Jordan

I know there's talk of Moss

It is preseason and Sample is a blocker and a starter. Don't put stock in the Preseason with starters and blocking TE's.

It is about the backups and Wilcox can play ST's, simple as that.

Hope Thad can make the PS is all.

I don't think Burrow making a comment about Moss means he had inkling one way or the other about whether he'd be cut.  I think Burrow just supports his guys and tries to be positive.  

This. Burrow is our Franchise QB but he doesn't have influence over the roster decisions.

I liked Trent Taylor but the other Trent clearly outplayed him this Preseason.

I thought he might have a shot over Thomas but Zac seems to like him.
Irwin looked good and he is a good sized WR. Taylor is a small guy so he is probably more limited in what he can do.

Both Irwin and Mike Thomas had a better Preseason and yeah, Taylor is small. Darius was a better returner this Preseason which 
also pushed Taylor off the roster I guess. Stanley Morgan looked pretty good against the Phins too. We are looking better at WR 
than I thought we would to be able to cut Trent Taylor who is a solid vet Slot Receiver and PR. Simmons made the call again I 
believe. These are really his cuts as you noted earlier with Moss getting cut over Wilcox.

1.  Burrow never had any influence to lose.

2.  Chase is far from a "debacle".


This is just proof that the people who claimed Burrow had influence were wrong all along.

I just hope we don't keep 3 QBs.

Lots of position bubble guys I want to keep over a third QB.

Same. Just keep Burrow and Allen.

Wait, what? Was Patrick let go?

Hopefully we can put him on the PS. Really liked what I saw of Patrick.

FWIW. Third TE was really going to be about ST coordinator Darrin Simmons. Moss didn't have a ton of experience on teams, but Mitchell Wilcox was the best of the bunch there. I suspect they will do everything to get Moss on the PS. If anything happens to Uzomah/Sample, he's up. https://t.co/qUZmmlYK3R

Since Uzomah hasn't done anything since the season before last and Sample hasn't done anything at all, ever, I'm surprised neither of them had to show some worthwhile production in pre-season.


Of course, anyone who says, "Nah I ain't make it" isn't all there between the ears. I can't think of a more incorrectly phrased statement that I've ever heard.

Has any thought, you know, that he'll be resigned to the 53 once the IRs happen?

Patrick looked decent in pre-season, but he was never playing against first string guys.

Already had a big guy on the bench in Perine, so I never gave Patrick much of a chance.  But he is definitely worth keeping on the practice squad.

I'd rather stash a 3rd string QB on the PS.  Not sure why any team keeps 3 QBs really.

I don't think Burrow tweeted anything about Moss.  I don't see it on his Twitter feed.  I think he was asked a question about Moss by a reporter and he answered it.
