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.

That was Mike Brown's way and, while he might still be running things in name and showing up (not even sure about that), he admitted years ago that he wasn't really running things anymore and I can only assume that he has been less and less involved. 

I think we'll surprise a lot of people and make cuts and then try and sign quality replacements, and I think a big reason for this is, not only does the new front office and coaching staff known that we need to make moves, but they also want to keep Burrow happy and see that we're not just sitting around on our hands like we did in the 2000s, besides for maybe one or two splash moves every offseason to keep the fanbase excited and content.

I think that, following the draft and once teams start making cuts, I think we'll make some cuts and look to sign free agents to improve the roster.
