This is a HUGE benefit. I believe it only applies to players with 4 years or less experience, but we will have first dibs on any player cut all they way through training camp.
I did not realize it ended after week 2.

The thing about Tupou is he showed improvement each year. I expected him to be better than he was last year. Might want to give ol Domata a call to bolster the run stopping. In limited snaps, he might have enough left in the tank, and is reportedly still in good shape, is available, and meant a lot to this team when he was here. I'd be ok with bringing him in for a year and letting him retire a Bengal.

Cincinnati announced that OT Isaiah Prince has been placed on the reserve/opt-out list.

Edit: Article was updated shortly after I posted to add Prince.
Weird after just releasing Glasgow. Gonna need another DT now and another OT.

C’mon Nate. What if Geno opts out? It’ll be perfectly understandable, imo.

Nope, read my last post in reference to Geno...
BTW, mainstream media lies more than it tells the truth. Forgot you didn't know this Freddy boy.

https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/news/bengals-interested-domata-peko-reunion
Quote:The Bengals have reached out to veteran nose tackle Domata Peko about a potential reunion league sources told AllBengals.com.
Peko, 35, spent the first 11 seasons (2006-16) of his career in Cincinnati. He recently tweeted about being willing and ready to return to the NFL for a 15th season.
The Bengals are in the market for a defensive tackle after Josh Tupou decided to opt out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19.
League sources say Peko is open to returning to the team that drafted him in the fourth-round (123rd overall) of the 2006 NFL Draft.

Anyone notice that more an more players are starting to play well into their 30s?
Recently with the rule changes, protective equipment, medical advancements, and better over all fitness training it seems that 30 is now the mid point for most NFL careers instead of say 27 or 28.

This just reeks of a Marv move. Bring back the guys your comfortable with. Would rather go for Snack Harrison or Mike Daniels or hell anyone not from the Marv era. Let move on and not bring anyone back that we moved on from. If we are bringing back old guys I would rather shoot for Krumrie.

I mean, if you're gonna get all pissy over a guy who will literally get 200 snaps or less, then you should really worry about other things.

Some players bring more than talent on the field and Peko is one of them. The Bengals made the playoffs Peko's last 4 years on the team; we haven't made it since.

Agreed. I’m all for having Peko back in that locker room. Especially as a back up.
