[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

IOL depth is still the biggest issue for me.

Replacing Reader in the run game is 2nd.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Well, today is the big day, as we need to be down to 53 by 4 pm. We likely may pick up a player or two that is released elsewhere (Kareem, Perine, OL help). 


I must apologize for the radio silence for the last month. I was on vacation in Canada/Alaska & then got COVID at the end of it. Been on IR for a bit.


So, first order of business is catching up on all the moves made while I was out of it. 


https://www.bengals.com/team/transactions/


1) 7/27: Signed P Ryan Rehkow, WR Hakeem Butler, and CB Nate Brooks. 


2) 7/28. TE Eric All off injured/PUP & cleared to practice. 


https://www.bengals.com/news/erick-all-jr-cleared-to-practice


3) 8/7. Placed DE Cam Sample on the Reserve/Injured list. Waived P Austin McNamara & WR Tre Mosley (I did not even have him on the list). Signed DE Andre Carter & DT Josh Pryor.


4) 8/8. Signed DT Carlos Davis.


5) 8/12. DT Devonta Maxwell off Injured list & cleared to practice  


https://www.bengals.com/news/devonnsha-maxwell-cleared-to-practice


6) 8/14. Placed DE Jeff Gunter on the Reserve/Retired list.


7) 8/18. Extended PK Evan McPherson. 


8) 8/19. Placed OL D'Ante Smith & RB Chris Evans on the Reserve/Injured List. Waived DT Devonta Maxwell. 


9) 8/23. Waived the following 11 players: OL Jackson Carman, WR Haleem Butler, RB Noah Cain, DE Andre Carter, LB Aaron Casey, S Michael Dowell, CB Alan George, WR Kwamie Lassiter, II, QB Rocky Lombardi, G Eric Miller, & DT Joshua Pryor. 


10) 8/26. Waived DE Justin Blazek.

--------

Whew! By my count, that gets us to 26 offensive guys I project to be serious roster contenders, 29 on D, and 4 on specials. For a total of 59. Plus 14 guys who I'd project as happy to make the PS. And, I believe Ivey is the only injured guy who can make it back this year, so I'd think we have a pass thru 53 spot open for an "injured" player. 

Roster + PS + Inj = 53 + 16 + 2 = 71. 

Currently: 59 + 14 + 1 = 74. 

19 gotta go to get to 53 + 2, but 16 could come back to the PS. 

It is real likely we sign a guy off waivers elsewhere to help where we are thin (DE, OL, NT, RB).

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Per a league source, OC/OG Trey Hill is being released.

https://x.com/AaronWilson_NFL/status/1828441562222657583

Also DT Travis Bell.

https://x.com/JFowlerESPN/status/1828435592742420952

And S PJ Jules.

https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1828449796471894259

On the upside, the intereebs are saying LB Maema Njongmeta and S/CB Daijahn Anthony have made the team.

https://x.com/JustinM_NFL/status/1828423438513455393

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Both Bell & Hill are good PS candidates if no one claims them.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Updated to reflect the above internet reports that we are releasing C/OG Trey Hill, DT Travis Bell, and S PJ Jules. And that S/CB Daijahn Anthony and LB Maema Njongmeta have made the team.


Unless we get a huge surprise from the UDFA ranks, we are 4 over at the moment. 1 guy likely joins Ivey on the IR/pass thru list (likely Murphy or All), and we won't carry 2 punters. 


That leaves 2 more cuts. 1 of the TEs (Hudson or McLachlan), a DT (Tufele/Carter), LB Haroer, or CB J. Davis are the contenders in my book + all the UDFA/PS guys on the 2nd list.

#Bengals places DT McKinnley Jackson (knee) on the Reserve/Injured list and, as expected, re-signed Trayveon Williams, who was released yesterday. Also signed four players to practice squad. pic.twitter.com/u8V12JweSs

Looks like Milton is a power back. Manning could be an interesting prospect, as he spent the entire 2023 season with the Ravens.

Isaiah Thomas has size and juice but kinda played out of position in the Oklahoma Defense. I expect to see Justin Rogers get called up a couple times in rhe first 4 weeks.

Agreed, our PS looks promising with some fresh faces.

Why didn't they just put Mckinley on the IR to begin with and avoid all the movement if they knew he needed to go there? Weird.

because I believe they were limited to 2 players who could be placed on IR yesterday with the return designation
