Cincinnati – Cincinnati Bengals have officially reduced their list to 53 as part of the NFL final cuts. One of the biggest surprises after the deadline for reducing alignment discounts on Tuesday is that Bengals have chosen to keep only eight attacking lines.
At that time, the team ends up with three backups on line O behind their beginners, which leads to the hypothesis that they will add to the group via the derogation wire and / or the free agency.
“We will always try to improve our team in any way possible. Duke and these guys actively work and always assess.” Head coach Zac Taylor said when he was asked for the offensive line Tuesday.
The old choice of patriots in the first Tour Cole Strange could be the perfect cup in Cincinnati.
He was canceled as part of the final cups of the alignment of the Patriots of New England. Strange appeared in 30 games during his stay in New England, starting 27 at the left guard before undergoing a torn ballot tendon at the end of the 2023 season. He started 2024 on the list of puppies before starting the last two weeks of the season in the center. The Patriots chose to refuse its fifth year option last spring before cutting it Tuesday.
Strange sometimes strolled during his recruited season. This included successful representatives against the Steelers four times the defensive platform All-Pro Cam Heyward. The Patriots won this match against the Steelers largely in Strange efforts to eliminate the pressure from the interior.

The elephant in the room is obviously the injury that Strange suffered in 2023. Before this injury, Strange apparently progressed at a solid pace of the NFL. He underwent a plague tendon torn in his left knee in a week 15 game against the chiefs, which made him miss the rest of the year and most of the 2024 campaign.
Knee injuries are difficult to overcome, especially for automatic lines, but there are reasons to believe that the strange will rebound. He is an exceptional athlete and still managed to get on the field for some representatives last season, even highlighting versatility to play in the center.
Bengals have questions about the right guard. Lucas Patrick was a solid backup at the NFL level throughout his career, the Bengals seem to bet on him to start. One case may be made that the Jalen Rivers recruit should start over Patrick, although relying on a fifth round that needs time to develop hardly seems an ideal plan.
Bengals should absolutely claim Strange. If he is able to resume his form of pre-blue, the Bengals would instantly improve the position of the right guard.
Becoming strange would be cheap because it is in the last year of its recruit contract.
The objective for Bengals should be clear, keep the Burrow protected so that it can correctly lead this team to a super potential super bowl. Let’s see if they take a step to improve the position of good care in the coming days.
