Losses
The notable losses in free agency so far:
- Clayton Fejedelem
- Andrew Billings
- Darqueze Dennard
Cuts:
- B.W. Webb
- John Miller
The Bengals have had some notable losses but none of them hurt too much. Billings might be the biggest because of his upside — but it’s a moot point with Reader in town. Dennard really hurts too because he’s really good and so great against the run as a bonus. But availability matters and he wants to play boundary while he’s much better in the slot.
The cuts were simply necessary and an indication free agency last year just didn’t work (it probably wasn’t going to as a new coaching staff was so late to assemble).
