Cincinnati Bengals Final Roster

By Liam Sullivan

The Cincinnati Bengals had some surprising roster changes after their final preseason game. General Manager Duke Tobin has made a lot of interesting changes.

Offensive Guard and Ohio State Product Michael Jordan (not the basketball player) was cut. Ironically, he is heading to the basketball Michael Jordan’s home, as he will be playing for the Carolina Panthers.

Austin Seibert, a Placekicker from Oklahoma, was cut and traded to the Detroit Lions.

Another kicker, an NFL veteran who has played for almost ten seasons, a Texas A&M product, Randy Bullock, was cut. He has yet to be claimed by any team.

One surprising move with the team depth is Colorado product, and former Cowboy Chidobe Awuzie will be playing over Eli Apple. Apple had had a notably defensive career with the Giants when in 2016, he had an excellent rookie season. Apple played on the Saints from 2018-19 and the Carolina Panthers in 2020.

Joseph Ossai is on the Injured Reserve, so it is astounding that Maryland product Keandre Jones will not be playing in his place.

As for the Quarterback situation, both Kyle Shurmur and Eric Dungey were cut. Dungey, a Syracuse product, has never made it to the final cut of any team in the NFL, the other two teams being the Giants and the Browns. He played for the Dallas Renegades of the XFL before the COVID-19 pandemic folded the league.

One other strange edit to the team is cutting Tight End and LSU National Champion Thaddeus Moss. His career began last season for the Washington Football Team.
