2024 Bengals Free Agency/Roster Thread

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

PK Cade York to the 53 from the PS. For the moment, that puts us at 53, but Hubbard to IR is imminent. We also signed LB Joe Giles-Harris and S Jaylen Key to the PS. 


Key was the final pick of the draft in 2024 and released off their PS this October. Giles-Harris was signed as an undrafted FA out of Duke by Jacksonville in 2019 and has played in 20 NFL games for the Jags, Bills, and Pats since.
