Players to be cut to save cap space

[skycruiser]

I'd lean towards keeping Pratt if for no other reason than the Bengals have too many holes to fill in one off season. We had more 4-7th round picks and undrafted rookies take snaps than any other team in the league last year. I think he was asked to do too much with Logan Wilson out.

That’s a good point

How do we feel about Pratt?

oh... ok...

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Bengals LB Germaine Pratt has requested a trade.

Pratt earned a starting role with the Bengals as a rookie in 2019 and never gave it up. He has started 77 regular season games plus seven postseason contests for the Bengals over the past five years. Pratt led the team with 143 tackles in 2024. He also tallied two forced fumbles, recovered fumbles, and interceptions in what might have been his final year in Cincinnati. According to Rapoport, Pratt was close with defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo before he was fired at the end of the season. He is also about to enter the final year of his contract and the Bengals have prioritized spending on offense in recent years. It may be best for both sides if the veteran linebacker is traded. The Bengals can also clear $5.9 million in space if no trade partner is found and they choose to cut Pratt.

not sure why he wants out?????

theres a very good chance he ends up being traded somehwere that has a lesser chance of winning then in cincinnati....

He’s gonna get cut and wants to keep his current contract which is better than what he’ll get in FA when he gets cut

Well we cut Rinkens. That's a start.

Hello, is there anyone out there?

I am still here. This place is slow during the season but off-season w/o B1 posting is darn near a ghost town.

Just the lull in the season. Should ramp up during FA and leading to the draft
