Mathis also found some interesting pharmaceuticals and a trainer...ever seen the before and after pics?  Different dude altogether than when he was here.

So basically they paid 16 million for an extra 2nd round pick. At first it doesnt look like a good move. But in the grand scheme of the NFL and the money involved, I can see that kind of move happening more and more to get extra draft picks.

They had the money.  They had to spend the money.  Brilliant move.

They currently have 83 on the roster, with two going on the suspension list. They will have 28 cuts happening in the next 25 and a half hours.

I will update all cuts here in this post as they come through my tweeter feeds and other secret sources I use, like ESPN, NFL.com, and Bengals.com. This isnt to prevent multiple cut threads being created, as some cuts deserve it. But merely for those folks that have much busier lives than I do to come in here and get an overall update on who is going.


Cuts: none as of 11:30pm  tonight

Thanks Millhouse for creating the thread.  Now I'll know exactly where to look after the deadline!

If only his product could command some respect, on the field..

Over bad and good time our line has normally better the better product on the field relative to the team so nope dont agree with your assessment of him as a coach

Last night I had a dream that Jake Elliot made a 61 yard FG in the season opener for us.

So, I think he wins the kicker competition haha.

Agreed. How could anyone think otherwise? In the middle of a slow and methodical rebuild, they used available cap $ to essentially buy a 2nd round draft pick. 

They certainly didn't need their cap space to use on free agents (they're rebuilding), so they used it towards the rebuild. 

This is an example of creativity we could never dream of seeing from Mike Brown.

Looks like Winston and Gillberry are the first casualties.

Edit: Nick Vigils brother just became available also.

"will update all cuts here in this post as they come through my tweeter feeds and other secret sources I use,...."

Is this anything like the secret sauce and do we all have to place our hands on the bible and take the oath to never divulge those super secret sources? You don't have to worry. I can keep a secret unless there's a lot of money (or even a little) involved or the threat of me getting in trouble somehow no matter how minor ..  just don't threaten to have a little girl hit me. I break every time to little girls..

[Millhouse]

Saw tweets where Gilberry and Winston will be among the cuts today. Not official yet though

I did it just in case they started to make cuts like other teams, but Im guessing a big lump at once will be announced.

3 former Bengals, Alfort, Thomson and Wright all cut by Cleveland..

Yep just heard the same from Josina Anderson.

Gilberry I thought had a shot until MJ showed some ability rushing from the interior.
I wonder who would play OT if both Fisher AND Ogbuehi were injured/terrible. As of right now, I see Andre Smith at one OT spot, maybe shift Hopkins to the other?

If these guys can't make it to Cleveland's 53-man, it's a sign there were/are not good. Glad none are Bengals anymore.

So Gilberry and Winston are gone. Only another 30 or so names to be coming out soon.

My main curiosities are who gets brought back after Driskel and Peerman go on IR and who's the kicker? Bullock won the job, but I can't see them cutting a 5th rounder.

[muskiesfan]

Just saw Jim O say Dielman got the axe. Hoping he clears to bring him back on PS.

[Millhouse]

Winston and J.J. Dielman have been the first two official.

[yellowxdiscipline]

JJ Dielman is cut, dont get this one.

[muskiesfan]

How long before we here Winston is out of work because he supports Kaepernick?

He wont, another team will get him, and he'll end up a good player. Why? Because Piano Man logic.
