It was clear when Ryan Finley was named the starting quarterback that the Bengals were officially in evaluation mode. They are evaluating the players they have to see what they have at each position and what positions they need to address in the offseason.
With the Bengals cutting Preston Brown it shows a positive side that the Bengals are open to admitting when they made a mistake. Hopefully, the Bengals will also be open to replacing the right tackle and left guard spot as aggressive moves there could really cause a big improvement to the OL by 2020.
