No one is trading anything significant for a rookie QB that has never played a down in the league. More likely they are willing to trade a veteran DL.

But it was. He was a single digit draft choice. His entire contract to include game checks are guaranteed. They could try and trade him but they would still probably be on the hook for a lot of his game checks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly thought that was just a thing they did for signing bonus accounting & they actually had to suit up for some of the money regardless of draft position. Either way the money's spent & they aren't getting anything out of him. We could put in a claim for Keelan Doss instead, it's an easy jersey change. 10 minutes ago, UncleEarl said: Who? Andy?

High-ceiling player who dabbled in burglary ... fits right in the mold. I wouldn't hate it. I like him. He's from very near where I live now. Got kicked from Tech, then made it back there by learning from his mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincy Jungle agrees with you Dakota Allen: Another now former Ram, Allen was Los Angeles’ seventh-round pick this past April and was a top-10 graded linebacker by PFF for rookies with at least 100 snaps logged this preseason (75.4). Allen was a surprise cut, but can now help the Bengals in a big way. ANYBODY > Hardly Nickerson, please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can get anything they should. Erickson is a reliable #4 and is very quick with sure hands. Phillips can turn into a solid return guy.

gupps Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Bengals cut Malone and Nickerson. They can't possibly think of going into the season with 4 linebackers can they? https://www.cincyjungle.com/2019/9/1/20843699/bengals-cuts-2019-josh-malone-hardy-nickerson-cardinals-news-samaje-perine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 https://www.yahoo.com/sports/browns-release-greg-robinson-reportedly-205618718.html Browns waive OLT Greg Robinson Go git 'em?? Browns release Greg Robinson, reportedly plan to bring him back A surprising name popped up on the NFL’s transaction wire on Sunday. The Browns released Greg Robinson a week before he was expected to start at left tackle against the Titans in the first game of the 2019 season. According to multiple reports, however, the team plans to re-sign him in time to play in Week One. Robinson moved into the starting lineup for the second half of the season and re-signed with the Browns in February. That contract called for a $5.5 million salary and Robinson had a cap number of $7 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was not the case. Give them credit for accepting that fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Credit has nothing to do with it. Water is wet, as the saying goes. I am simply curious as to how they are going to operate with a combination of four LB's--when one is a rookie, another constantly injured, an OK type (who is also injured a lot), and a barely passable ST-type?

It is early days yet, they will find another LB. Clearly the 6th round pick was not ready nor were any of the UFAs so you keep the better players at other positions and adjust later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One wonders however, if after the musical chairs end over the next day or so, that the LB will not be just a guy with the position description by his name. Otherwise, as you mention, no need to force a square peg into a round hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
