You are probably right but that is a terrible plan. Johnson was not effective last year. He should be fighting for a job and definitely not someone who should be counted for meaningful snaps. Carman is needed at OG and is already a question mark (rookie learning a new position) so moving him would just create another hole. Back-up OT is huge for this team. Jonah has not shown he can stay healthy. It is likely three OT's will be needed this season. If they sign a decent back-up OT or better yet a starting caliber OT they can move Reiff to LG. Surely management cannot believe that Jordan, XSF, Spain, Price, Fred and a bunch of rookies qualifies as appropriate depth. Losing Adenji is not substantive. He should have been on the bubble. Late round pick --showed some promise but still struggled. That does not equal meaningful snaps. Bengals need to raise their bar on expectations of players. Too many projects and to much dependency on hope.
