The Bengals start playing meaningful football on Sunday when they take on the Colts. But before that, the Bengals had to form their 53-man roster, which was no easy task.
Some of the monetary guidelines and practices can be confusing to the average fan. If the Bengals made roster moves based on talent alone, that would be easy enough to figure out. But Mike Brown is running a business, so dollars and cents are an important part of the equation. There might be some cuts or additions made that had more to do with contracts than skills.
