Former Cincinnati Bengals wideout John Ross continues to help his former team by putting in work with the New York Giants this season.
Ross, a first-round pick by the Bengals in 2017, needed to play around 300 snaps this year to net the Bengals an additional fourth-round pick.
To date, Ross has 11 catches for 224 yards and one touchdown over 10 appearances. He’s played 213 snaps over that span, and with how things continue to shake out in the overall compensatory pick formula, he’s right on target to get the Bengals an additional draft pick.
Here’s the brief note from cap expert Nick Korte of Over The Cap:
7. It's more likely, though not guaranteed, that John Ross's contract will qualify him as a compensatory free agent even if he doesn't play at least 25% of the season snaps.
That means better chances for the Bengals to get a 4th round comp pick instead of nothing.

The Bengals don’t have a ton of chances to net extra picks in the comp formula this year because of big signings like Trey Hendriscon and Mike Hilton, to name a few.
Ross, funnily enough after not working out with the Bengals, is still on pace to help his former team in a big way, though.
