They have to, HAVE TO, be movers and shakers this off season or the Joe Burrow era is going to start slipping away.
There's zero reason to wait. Cut them and eat the loss and get some decent players in here.
No doubt brother. Need to make some damn good moves this Offseason to shore up this team for Joe.
Cutting Stone and Rankins frees up a lot of dough and they bring nothing to the team it seems, so upgrades are almost a given at
these positions. There will be a Free Agent Guard that can be better than Volson no problem pretty sure as well.

Yeah, Tee will be gone. Hopefully we see something from Burton to make us feel better about it. Iosivas isn't the answer but he did
make a beautiful hands catch on the sideline against them stealers and took a brutal hit while doing it. Shown he is coming around
but I wouldn't count on him either. Might have to draft a WR in the first like Higgins out of Iowa State to replace Higgins.

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.
Cam Skattebo that RB out of Arizona State is really impressive and I also liked what I saw from that Washington RB you turned me
onto. Both are bowling ball, pounding RB's that would bring us some physicality in the running game. I like Herbert, I would keep him
and move on from Moss myself.
