CINCINNATI —

 

The Cincinnati Bengals announced a series of roster moves on the first day of the offseason, signing nine players to reserve/future contracts.

 

Players who are signed to a reserve/future contract will not count against the team's 53-man roster, but will count on the 90-man roster beginning on Feb. 12, the Monday after the Super Bowl.

 

Below are the nine players signed on Monday by the Bengals:

 

  • DT Domenique Davis
  • CB Allan George
  • C Nate Gilliam
  • DE Jeff Gunter
  • LB Shaka Heyward
  • WR Shedrick Jackson
  • G Jaxson Kirkland
  • WR Kwamie Lassiter II
  • WR Kendric Pryor
 
 

Eight of the players finished the season on the Bengals' Practice Squad, while one, Kirkland, finished on the Practice Squad/Injured list.

 

Of the above players, only two suited up for a game this season for the Bengals, Jackson and Lassiter.

 

The former Auburn Tiger Jackson appeared in five games during the 2023 season for Cincinnati and was targeted once. As for Lassiter, the former Kansas Jayhawk hauled in his only target of the season for a two-yard reception.

 

This year marks the first time since the 2020 season that the Bengals aren't playoff bound, meaning they'll slide up the NFL Draft board this year.

 

For the 2024 draft, the Bengals will have the No. 18 overall pick. The 2024 NFL Draft will be held in Detroit, Michigan, this year from April 25-27.
