The Cincinnati Bengals are far from done after going through the process of final cuts to form a 53-man roster.

Only eight offensive linemen
11 defensive linemen total

The Bengals weren’t in love with the depth of the offensive line, so that’s going to be one major target on the waiver wire. If not there, perhaps in free agency or perhaps even via trade.
While adding to the offensive line or another roster spot, the excess at defensive tackle will probably be the first out the door, no matter how fun the undrafted free agent stories of Howard Cross and Eric Gregory might be.
