Notable Cuts

[Jmble]

Just starting a thread for anybody you might think is a notable cut this weekend or someone that the Bengals should look at.

I'd start with LB Malcolm Smith who was cut by the Niners today. He's 30 years old and on the downside of his career but he is someone who might be able to help us in a year when we need help at the position so badly.

Notable but not someone to look at for the Bengals, The Jags cut Terrelle Pryor.

The Broncos cut linebacker Brandon Marshall. Not sure if he has anything left in the tank after his injury last year. The Raiders obviously didn't think so.

The Bills are releasing LeSean McCoy. Surely somebody will give him a shot. He's on the wrong side of 30 now but he was still relatively productive last year on a really bad Bills team. Averaged 3.2 yards per carry and also caught 34 balls which was second on the team to Zay Jones.

Hell, we need a running back. Though I doubt McCoy's ego would let him sign on as a third stringer. He'll get a chance somewhere I'm sure.

Some additional moves....

The Bengals today signed free agent LB LaRoy Reynolds and waived DE Jordan Willis.

Reynolds (6-1, 228), a seventh-year player out of the University of Virginia, was originally a college free agent signee of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2013. He has spent time with the Jaguars (2013-15), Chicago Bears (’15), Atlanta Falcons (’16-17) and Philadelphia Eagles (’18). He was with the San Francisco 49ers this preseason, but was released on final cuts. Reynolds has played in 84 career games (seven starts), and has 81 tackles and two fumble recoveries.

Willis, a third-year player, saw action in 32 games with the Bengals since joining the team as a third-round draft pick in 2017.

Another recent higher round pick that did very little for the bengals.

Bengals waive Jeff Driskel with an injury settlement. No surprise here. Now go find me a LB.
