Cincinnati Bengals 2021 53-man roster: How it was built

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor talks with the offense near the end of practice during a training camp practice at the Paul Brown stadium practice facility in downtown Cincinnati on Wednesday, Aug. 18, 2021.

At one point in the 2019 preseason, it looked like the Cincinnati Bengals would start Cordy Glenn, Michael Jordan, Billy Price, John Miller and Bobby Hart on the offensive line during the regular season.

Just two years later, none of those players are on the Bengals roster.

The Bengals finalized their initial 53-man roster on Tuesday, and Cincinnati gave up two of its longest-tenured offensive linemen. The Bengals traded Price to the New York Giants on Monday, and they cut Jordan to make room for offensive tackle Isaiah Prince.

The Bengals cut 27 players, including running back Jacques Patrick, running back Pooka Williams Jr., wide receiver Trent Taylor, tight end Mason Schreck, and defensive tackle Mike Daniels. 

The Bengals opted to keep 10 offensive linemen, finalizing a near-complete turnover over the last three seasons. Jordan started 19 games with the Bengals and was one of the team’s biggest investments in an offensive guard as a fourth round pick. Jordan lost his starting spot after quarterback Joe Burrow’s knee injury last season.
