Bengals claim former Falcoms 1st round pick.
8 game tryout. Not a bad pick up. Rumor had it they wanted to draft him originally.

Bfine gonna be PUMPED
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

Could blow up in their faces - locker room issues. Or could be a massive steal. I'm hoping for steal.
More importantly we had better not see MJ back out there at LG against the Stealers. We have Spain so play him!

At least this staff attempts to make improvements throughout the year. Hope it pays off.

We will see. We need somebody besides Lawson who can get pressure on the QB.
Today I'm TEAM SEWELL. Tomorrow TEAM PITTS. Maybe TEAM CHASE. I can't decide, and glad I don't have to.

I wouldn't worry about the locker room issues. He's just going to be hear for half a year and he's playing for his next contract, so it really doesn't matter what he says.

Low risk, high reward move!!! Good job Katie!!! I met her at the Bengals/Browns game last year, she was in the box behind our seats, I stood on the seats and shook her hand and talked to her about 3-5 minutes. I sensed that she was going to make changes and she hasn't disappointed. BTW she was the only Bengal owner that was sitting outside till the final whistle blew and it was freezing!!!

He's only 25. Worth a look.

He is no Margus Hunt or Xavier Williams, but still worth a look.

Yes. I absolutely loved Takk coming out of UCLA.
WTS, the circumstances surrounding his release remind me somewhat of Dunlap.

I look at is as:
We traded a 31 year old Carlos Dunlap who is due big $ next year for a back up olineman, 7th rounder, and a 25 year old Takk McKinney.
I'll take it.

Yep. I believe basically the same type of issue too. He believed he needed to be used differently/more.
But if he fits well with the scheme, he should be happy.

I am just shocked we gave him a shot. I hope it works out well. Sometimes a guy just needs a change to excel.
Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!

Shocked he didn't get claimed before us.

Do we need to make a corresponding roster move?

And will he be able to clear Convid19 Protocols in time to at least rush the passer in Pittsburgh?
