Hopefully Bengals aren't too attached/prideful to hesitate moving on from Stone and Rankins.
They were brand new this past offseason and have done nothing to make any section of the fanbase to want to keep them.

I don't expect them to cut Cappa since he's been a starter with Bengals since 2022.
But Bengals did part ways with Mixon after so many years, so maybe they won't be as hesitant with someone like Cappa as I think.


I doubt they would cut Pratt either, but he would free up $5.6 mill this offseason if they do.
Cutting Cappa would free up $8 mill.

Do Bengals really need Zack Moss next year?
He frees up nearly $3.5 mill with only $1.5 mill of dead cap.
To me, Moss filled the uncertainty gap while we waiting to see what Brown could really do.
Brown has emerged as RB1 going into next season, plus they could re-sign Herbert.
Maybe move on from Moss and use (some of) that money to put toward Herbert instead.
Or cut Moss, let Herbert walk, and draft a RB to pair with Brown.
