One of the worst responsibilities of an NFL team’s front office has got to be firing nearly 40 people in one weekend.
The Bengals coaching staff had to take a group of almost 90 football players and get that number down to 53. What goes into their decision-making process? How did they decide which 53 were worth keeping?
It depends on a lot of different factors: Talent, work ethic, money, age, and scheme just to name a few. So, the players that the Bengals decided to keep (and later add to the practice squad) say a lot about what the Bengals want out of this team.
