I don't think Pratt is going to be here.

I really hope Pratt isn’t going to be here. Curious, why Grandy over Hudson? Will McLaughlin land on the PUP or IL for the year? That guy was an amazing UDFA signing and I’m saying that as an anti-Buckeye fan. I still think a vet free agent OG is signed and Volson is shown the door.

There is no chance hs is going to be here. Hell he might even get released today.

Right, Pratt is as good as gone. And I'd say there's also a good chance they release Volson so they can up Trey's contract.

[J24]

QB- Burrow, Browning 2
RB- Brown, Perine, Moss, Brooks 4
TE- G Sticky, Sample, Grandy, Hudson 4

Notable cuts/Trades
S- Battle- He has too many athletic limitations to be a starter and if he isn't a starter I don't think he makes the roster.

Edge- Murphy- I think some team offers a mid RD pick for him come late preseason.

LB- Pratt- is he still here?

IOL- Volson- Traded to a needy OL team for a late RD pick.

FA signings
Blackmon S

I see Pratt definitely gone. I think strong possibility if Volson does not win a starting job we trade him. He is young and has started in the NFL and does have some value. Pratt's contract will force Bengals to cut him.

I would add CB Wilson

So you think Jordan Battle will be cut and Myles Murphy will be traded for a mid to late rounder? I would say there is 0% chance of either happening. Also, Battle is a better athlete than Geno Stone. 
I told everybody here that Stone was an awful signing, same with Rankins. 
Now I do agree they HAVE to sign possible starters at safety and OG. If not, this team is worse than last year and we are just spending money to keep the fanbase that's already in place(the Tee signing makes us no better). 

I like the fact they drafted two linebackers, Pratt is 100% gone. And they wont be stretched as thin in Goldens defense. 
Hopefully the coverages are simplified so our guys can just play. 
If that happens and we get some development out of Shemar and Murphy, and the two second year DTs, then we could be dangerous.

Volson will be on the team until the end of training camp and then end up on the PS

Yeah there’s no way they give up on Murphy this soon. Also I can’t see Battle being cut - he has experience at probably the weakest position group on a the roster and doesn’t make much money. Would be dumb to cut him.
