I always liked David Johnson as a blocker and the former Steeler TE is now available.
I would cut Carter and hopefully get him to the practice squad
I would like at adding Boone also for Injured QB Driskel who goes on IR tomorrow
Who do you like?
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.

TJ Ward is the big name that jumps out, mostly due to the injuries at safety we currently have.
However, I think it will be a waiver claim on a young guy who "we really liked coming out" and "has a lot of football left". We just don't go for the vets.
I'm excited to see the whole list of who's available as I'm certain we will add a name or two within the next few days.

It's a shame that Boone never caught on at T in the Pros. He was one heck of a RT in college.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Gotta be D.
Sitting at 27 O and 23 on D.
Id say Cox or Wilson. With 2 banged up starting safeties we could use another body back there if Shaw is going to be playing every ST snap.

I could see that as well or as was mentioned TJ Ward is available.

I actually see us going D, with Driskel being placed on IR. I think we go with Brandon Wilson, he allows us to use him on special teams, 4th RB, and backup Safety. We moved him to get him, I think he stays

If I had to guess who gets Driskel's spot...it will be Adam Jones after his one week suspension. Shaw becomes the flex safety guy and Pacman goes back to corner.
Now, if Williams goes on the IR as well after this with his injury, I could see Wilson coming to the 53.

If we bring in someone from the outside I'd like for it to be Will Sutton.

Dorian Johnson was cut by az. I don't know his injury situation but I'd check him out

I want Graham Gano. He has an excellent track record and a strong leg.
TJ Ward would be an upgrade. I'm sure there's a scrap heap o-lineman that'd probably be an upgrade to our depth at the very least.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

Be interesting to see how the new format of 90 to 53 works out for them. Might be a thing that teams go back and decide against for next season.

I think it will probably be a defensive lineman. 8 is very thin for us. It could be a a guy on waivers, or I could see them resigning Clarke or Gilberry. I don't see any way that it's Wilson, who missed all of TC and has little experience at S. If we add a S, I think it will be a vet or waiver claim. I don't see it being Ward due to the contracts Iloka and Williams have.

Sutton is an interesting drop by the Vikings. My only worry is first the Bears and now the Vikings since being drafted in 2014. Why?

We will IR Driskel today (for this week) opening up 1 roister spot. Then mext week we know we have an opening when have a cut when Jones comes back.

With the Bears he just didn't fit their 3-4 scheme. He plays around 280 and they had him at 300+.
As to the Vikings: who knows? Maybe Zims can only coach talent; not select it. It definitely wasn't because he had a poor preseason.
