You really think??

I wonder about Rankins. We have a history of not cutting players who come off IR. If they think he was actually sick for longer last year and that's why his play wasn't very good, that might lead them to keeping him as well.

Anyways, yeah OP makes a good point. The Bengals are historically averse to cutting players. They have done it a bit more in recent years but nothing is a given.
