The roster purge for the Cincinnati Bengals continues.
After cutting B.W. Webb, the Bengals decided to also move on from John Miller, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Miller appeared in 13 games last year as the starter at right guard after sitting as the team’s most notable free-agent signing. He struggled in the role, earning a 58.6 grade at Pro Football Focus.
The Bengals save about $2.6 million with the reported cutting of Miller but also eat about $2.6 million in dead cap. Call it a wash and — more importantly — another admission the performance in free agency last year just wasn’t good enough. The cap savings could be adjusted if it’s designated as a post June 1 cut ahead of the new league starting at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday
The front office previously admitted this with the big contract agreements with D.J. Reader and Trae Waynes. Now guard becomes an emphasis for the rest of the offseason.
