I can see Hudson or McLachlan outplaying All and stealing the last spot on the roster, but they need to show up next week and make plays.
The Bengals haven't waived/cut a 4th round pick their rookie season at least since the draft went to 7 rounds in '94. You get drafted in the 4th, you make the team for at least 1 year unless you're just a Grade A PoS and force their hands from a media/PR standpoint.
Even if we ignore the unwillingness to throw away a 4th round pick before a snap has been played, follow the money. Erick All got an $800k signing bonus. The Tanners got $160-180k each. They're not going to throw away a 4th round pick AND take an $800k dead cap hit to kick E All to the waivers.
