Outside Help

True Slot WR… really missing Tyler Boyd.  3rd and 6, need a reliable set of hands.  Iosivas and Irwin are not it, especially without Higgins, and not sure Burton is at this point.  

Hunter Renfrow is a free agent. 74% catch rate, Tyler Boyd was 68%.  After our WR, not named Chase, just caught 33% of their targets, something has got to give.  

Cut Irwin.

Edge help… bengals got good pressure yesterday, but we need someone else that can bring some heat.  Maybe ossai continues to develop and Myles can bring something to the table, but Yannick Nguake is out there and can be a force. Last year was not as good as his career averages, but I would think he can help.

Cut KJ Henry?

DT help… depending on severity of the injuries, we might see some
Roster movement to IR.  Not sure who would be best, but imminent help is likely needed.

Hassaan Ridgeway
Lawrence Guy
Bryan Mone
Al Woods
Tyson Alualu

Bengals need a DT somethin fierce with all the injuries.
Renfrow was a solid slot for a few years but he kinda fell off. He's also gonna turn 29 years old later this year.
But he still might be a better slot than Iosivas, who might be better backing up Higgins.
