3 players Bengals should look to add following roster cuts
By Alex Austin
Cincinnati Bengals should target Tyrell Crosby
The offensive line has been an area of concern for the entire offseason for the Bengals. After Joe Burrow was lost to a season-ending injury last year, fans have been adamant that the front office should do everything they can to protect their franchise player. To date, Cincinnati has not done much to improve this unit, but the answer may just have become a free agent.
Offensive tackle, Tyrell Crosby, was released by the Detroit Lions and will now be looking for a new home in the NFL. Crosby was a late-round selection in the 2018 NFL draft for the Detroit Lions but failed to do enough this offseason to maintain a spot on the roster.
Understand football is a business but man, Tyrell Crosby is a great dude and a fan favorite and waiving him sucks.

While he may not be a guaranteed starter for the Bengals, he would definitely push for playing time and provide a valuable depth piece at tackle. This isn’t the first time this has been brought up on Stripe Hype either, as earlier this summer, Bleacher Report thought the Bengals should trade for Crosby. Now they have a chance to add him without having to give up much.
Even though the Bengals have decided depth on the offensive line is a place of strength for this team with the trade of Billy Price, having a player who can play both tackle positions and has improved each year of his career would be a smart value add.
