Honestly surprised Zac took the ego hit and cut Trevor. I just knew he was a lock because it would be embarrassing for Zac to go and get him and then have to cut him

Siemien just played awful all camp and PS, I'm honestly surprised how terribly he performed.

Maybe he's not conducive to our system...

Yeah, I'm actually not sure why he looked THAT bad. He wasn't even under any real pressure in the pocket but his accuracy was still terrible.

A good sign. Don't getinvested in the move if the player just does not have it.

Good Bye Hakeem Adeniji...this is possibly a good sign that D'Ante Smith's shoulder injury isn't serious

Bengals are releasing OT Hakeem Adeniji, per source.

I didn't expect this one. I wonder if #9 OL is on the roster right now..

[BengalsLUFC]

Surprised at that but thank god, he could get you out of a jam occasionally but nowhere near good enough.

Now the question is, is Carmen any better? The reason that waste of a spot will still be here is because of the pride of a 2nd round pick and a few dollars.

Our drafting of OL has to get substantially better in the future.

Wow that kind of surprises me. Obviously he has been bad in the postseason, but he did have a lot of starting experience. Just want to clarify I am not complaining about this move, just surprised they actually did it lol

Nah, George was never ahead of S. Jones or Turner, and cannot play the slot. Maybe if we were keeping 7, but that was a longshot. Even so, Ivey jumped him pretty quick. 

Thonas is not on my list, so IDK where you are getting that from. But it has been obvious for a while that he is willing to stay on on the PS. At that point, there is no reason to keep him. Some folks were just slow to catch on. We traded UP to get Anderson & just drafted Battle. They were going nowhere.

Semen was so bad, Zac didn't have a choice...

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Adeniji surprises me a little. I expected them to keep Smith & Ford instead of my picks (Adeniji & B. Brown). I am OK with keeping Smith instead (if indeed we do). More upside. Better pass blocker. More of a real swing tackle.

I think Adeniji has a shot for the PS.

Edit: Agree that this is a sign Smith's injury is not too bad.

[jj22]

Surprised but not outraged by Adeniji release. No one can say he didn't get his shots. Maybe a better Oline Coach can get more out of him at tackle.

#Bengals are waiving TE Davin Asiasi, source says.

— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) August 29, 2023

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Asiasi was clearly TE #5 at best. Not surprising.

Seems as if neelws is breaking sooner on the fringier guys rather than the real "no shot" guys. My wuibble with Pally on George notwithstanding.

[BengalsLUFC]

Johnson released damn.

Can only assume Ossai isn’t as bad as people think.

this one is a tough

Yep, not sure where the ego thing comes from regarding Zac. Hey, you took a flyer, it didn't work, move on. Seems that's the way things are ran now.

Why would that be an "ego hit?" Taylor brought in a guy who was a starter as an NFL quarterback and gave him a look to see if he would be better than Browning. He wasn't, so he sent him home. How that's an ego hit is beyond me, to me it's good coaching.

TE Scotty Washington (Pats) 
WR Alex Erickson (Jets) 
LB Nick Vigil (Jets) 
CB Darius Phillips (Texans) 
OT: Isaiah Prince (Broncos) 
OT: Fred Johnson (Eagles) 
OT: Bobby Hart (Lions) 
DT: Christian Covington (Lions) 

While I haven't followed him since he left here, Covington gave us some pretty good snaps and played above his pedigree in his time here while we were depleted on the D-line. Might be worth keeping in touch with, in case we lose someone at DT.

Not unexpected but still dumb, IMHO.  

Looks like we will keep a 7th WR who offers nothing from scrimmage or a mediocre caliber OL instead. 

I hope he clears waivers, but I doubt it.
