Now, on D, most guys got canned. I think we kept DB coaches & safety.
But it is a classic CYA move from a head coach. Firing key assistants buys you a year. If we are mediocre again, ZT is history.
Oh please, now you're delusional. ZT isn't going anywhere.

Wanna bet?
If we don't win more than 9 and make the PIs, he is out for sure. Barring a Burrow injury as the cause.

If OTC has it right, we saved all of around $700k vs the cap on the Volson restructure.
Cap hit now at $3.1 mil instead of $3.8.
Much ado about not much.

Can we renegotiate Volson's spot on the roster next?

Pretty sure that they can, as his guaranteed money for the year is $0.00, and the team's only responsible for $600K of signing bonus in dead money.

No, i mean...can we cut him. Like right now?

LG Dylan Fairchild and RG Lucas Patrick were the first two guards up in the first 11 on air session.

It’s the offseason and a lot can happen from here but noteworthy.
O-line looked like this: RT Amarius Mims, RG Lucas Patrick, C Ted Karras, LG Dylan Fairchild and LT Orlando…

No way would I even pay 3.1 million to Volson this year. We could use that money toward Risner or Hernandez both projected to be signed for around 4 million. Scherff is projected at around 6 million so that could pay half his salary. Bad decision to keep Volson at 3.1 million when Ford played better at LG and you drafted Fairchild.

I think this is the starting lineup most of us expect.

Talk about a question mark at guard. A 3rd round rookie, and a career backup. But hey, anything that sends Volson to the bench I’m calling a positive.

This is Spotrac's calculations
OL Cordell Volson signed a 1 year, $2.6M renegotiated contract with the #Bengals that includes $500k guaranteed, per-game active bonuses, & likely incentives.
— Spotrac (@spotrac) May 27, 2025
The move frees up $516k of cap space for Cincy this season.
RE: Volson Renegotiates Contract - pally - 05-27-2025
Cordell said he knew renegotiating the contract was a possibility going into the off season. He was glad he and the team came to a mutually agreeable solution.
He's going to work hard..blah blah blah. Disappointed in how he played last year
He will do whatever the team needs which includes the possibility of moving back to his college right guard position

I don’t know if I would call a guy who started in 30 of the 34 games he has played in over the last three years a career backup.

He’s a undrafted player making $2 mil a year. Backup caliber work better for you?

Patrick is essentially a career backup. I feel like he's being slotted with the ones right now, just to encourage competition.
RE: Volson Renegotiates Contract - Joelist - 05-27-2025
Calling Patrick a career backup when the last three seasons he was a starter is not really fair.
As to Volson I expect he is a reserve right now and want to see what Peters can do with him as probably his biggest issue was not getting low enough and giving up his chest to defenders. fix that and he looks a lot different as seen on the snaps where he did it right.

Duke after renegotiating the contract of a bottom tier OG, that no one wants on the team anyway, to save 0.43% of the Salary Cap

He started 30 of 51 games the past three years, mostly due to injury or inept play by the man ahead of him. He's a career backup.. The only year that he could be argued as the starter was 2023, when he started 15 games, and was flagged for 7 penalties.

I remember when everybody loved Evan Mathis. That backup caliber career backup turned into a pretty good player.
Evan Mathis only had 22 starts in his first six years in the league and ended up being all pro Super Bowl champ pro bowler after becoming a quality starter around the age of 30.
Well Patrick had 39 starts his first six years.
Hoping for an Evan Mathis type career trajectory here.
