Locking in the failed operations of 2024. I guess they don't see an issue.

Cal needs to get better that is for sure. Tough to try and replace the best LS maybe ever in Clark Harris.

Even when McPherson had Clark Harris snapping the ball and Kevin Huber holding the kick, McPherson was NFL bottom half in kicking percentage.  McPherson in his entire NFL career has never been all that accurate even with Harris and Huber.  The guy had a great post season in 2021 but beyond that has been pretty mediocre to bottom tier.

Also, Rehkow did pretty good with Adomitis snapping the ball.  

The Bengals have a lot more to worry about than the long snapper.  I would say kicker is a bigger question mark than long snapper.

Cannot disagree, too bad, thought we had a special Kicker in McPherson after his clutch rookie season and especially in the Playoffs and SB.

Injury could be the reason for McPherson's poor year last year, plus the rule change on Kickoffs that seemed to hurt almost all Kickers.

But it is a good thing to have a decent LS in Cal Adomitis, he has been off a few times, but hasn't been terrible. 

Most all of us remember the tragic fall off of Brad St. Louis.

I thought his snaps were haywire a lot to the right (his).

Could not agree more. Here are my cut candidates. Obviously, it is doubtful we cut them all, but I think any of the would make sense. Most likely first, with Rankins a done deal.

#, Pos, Player, 2025 salary, Dead Cap, Savings
1. DT, Rankins, $11.618 mil, $2 mil, $9.618 mil 
---------------------cut line--------
2. OG, Cappa, $10.25 mil, $2.25 mil  $8 mil 
3. DE, Hubbard, $11,511,765, $2 mil, $9,511,765
--------------------
4. WR, Burton, $1,322,931, $263,345*, $1,059,586*
5. RB, Moss, $4,816,176; $1.5 mil  $3,316,176
6. OG, Volson, $3,739,220, $164,220, $3,575,000
7. LB, Pratt, $8,183,334, $2,333,334, $5.85 mil
8. PK, McPherson, $4,583,333, $2,083,333*, $2.5 mil*
9. S, Stone, $7,975,000, $1.5 mil, $6,475,000
-----------
* = post June 1 cut.

Thanks Ike, that is a lot of possible dough to free up. Like you say, doubtful we cut all those guys but I expect a lot of them to be let go.

Not until we have a replacement in house though. We also should have some interesting camp battles this year.
