Cincinnati Bengals starters set to be free agents. Will they be back?

As the Cincinnati Bengals begin their offseason the first order of business will be a roster review.

This is when Zac Taylor’s coaching staff meets with the Bengals’ front office to discuss each player on the roster. They’ll make decisions on who will return and who will not be on the roster next season.

Several key players are scheduled to become free agents with their futures uncertain.
