Th Bengals are always thinking both long-term and short-term. Who is going to start on Thursday in the preseason opener and who is going to be extended to new deals keeping them in Cincinnati for the long-term. The process of juggling a roster and building a team isn’t an easy one and the Bengals have 31 players currently on the 90-man roster who are set to become free agents in March 2019.
So, who should be prioritized and stick around? Who do the Bengals need to get new deals to as soon as possible? Much will change based on 2018 output and more than a few of these guys won’t even make the 53-man roster in September.
