Bengals 53-man roster projection after first week of training camp

Looks good, let’s get this season going.
Looks good, but I have a few opinions
– I think there’s a world where we keep 5 TEs, especially in one where we keep 3 RBs like this projection. My cut candidate here would be Jeff Gunter or Zach Carter based on how the roster shakes out in this projection.
– If we keep one of the 2021 OT draft picks, I think it’ll be D’Ante Smith over Carman. He’s shown more either side versatility and I think his pass pro is better. It also seems it’s been more injuries holding him back than perpetual trips to the dog house like Carman.
– Dabbling with the idea of keeping 4 linebackers and 5 safeties, which would cut Casey and keep Daijahn Anthony. This is going off vibes though, that’ll likely be more apparent in the preseason.
Edit: forgot the CB room. I’m guessing Ivey is getting activated in the next few weeks. If so, he’s making the team out of camp. If he doesn’t, I see the article’s scenario playing out. I’m pretty open about the 6th CB, I think Dax/Turner pretty easily slide into the Hilton backup role, so Davis isn’t as necessary to keep around as he has been. 6th corner could shape up to be the other interesting camp battle in that room
This will happen
I don’t know I agree with the DL and the CB room I don’t see a world where Jalen Davis gets cut for an undrafted rookie. Also I don’t see Zach Carter making the team based on seeing him 10 yards down field entirely too much

Edit: the offense seems spot on though.

Bye, Brad. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. 😅
