First cut of the year and the most obvious.

Nice. Was just saying we should cut Rankins and boom, there yah go.
Bring back BJ Hill who is more than solid and bring back Ossai our second best pass rusher last year and add an End in FA to help out Trey and our pass rush. If we add a DT like Walter Nolen or Kenneth Grant in the first our DL would be massively upgraded.

They need to release several more players.

It is nteresting they did it so early. Maybe asked to take a cut and he said no?? Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!

Wow, the hammer of consequence fell justly this time!
On another note, I know a fellow long time board member will be confused as to why there was no hinting from the beat writers that this was about to happen. Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations -Frank Booth 1/9/23

It was confirmed what someone had said back in November or whatever, that he had viral meningitis. Nasty stuff.
Hope he recovers and can continue his career, shame it didn't ultimately work out with us. ![[Image: Truck_1_0_1_.png]](https://card.psnprofiles.com/2/Truck_1_0_1_.png)

Good start.

The only surprise is it was a straight release and not an injury/illness settlement.

But right now he is making too much dough for what he brings.

Just a colossal mistake. He was awful even when healthy.
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.

Favor Grant over Nolen because he could start, with McKinnley backing him up. Then some BJ Hill with Jenkins backing him up, maybe even supplanting him by the end of the season.. I feel good about that interior. Then adding an edge rusher in FA as you stated... Good times!

I remember mentioning bacterial pneumonia aka walking pneumonia back in November or December. It was bad in the Ohio Valley during the fall but I don't know if anyone confirmed Viral Meningitis for Rankins.

My biggest issue is with the coaching staff marching him out there when he is hurt, and thus hurting the team. Put him on IR, let him get healthy, and let the younger players develop or flop.

I definitely remember someone bringing up VM, just can't remember if it was here or on Twitter... EDIT* Huh, it was actually around the New Year, my mistake! https://thebengalsboard.com/thread-39788-post-1555390.html#pid1555390 Thank you, Wyche :) |
