Welcome to Cincinnati, the NFL's Island of Misfit Toys. There isn't a Charlie-in-the-Box, a toy bird who swims instead of flies or a train with square wheels here. What you will find are a bunch of castoff football players.   Every NFL roster has them -- players who weren't wanted or needed by their former teams -- but the Cincinnati Bengals have more than most, including nine who are starters. &nb...

With the Bengals' exceptionally busy offseason, signing several high profile free agents and a draft that could quite possibly go down as one of the best in the team's forty one year history, this year's cuts are going to be especially difficult considering the amount of talent the team has in certain...

Sometimes the topic goes into salary cap causalities; veterans that are cut, like Willie Anderson and Rudi Johnson last year. Other times, the debate talks about players that surprisingly make the roster. As jsl413 broke down, the Bengals depth is strong in some areas, weak in others. Which means the Bengals could strengthen weaken positions by increasing the depth. ...

This leaves only four remaining draft picks that need to be signed—Chase Coffman, Michael Johnson, Rey Maualuga and Andre Smith.As I already pointed out, I believe the Bengals are going to have some problems signing Smith and Maualuga.
