ochocinco4pres Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Rappaport just reported it on Twitter George confirmed it on Twitter. I guess Bates is starting despite being invisible out there so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaidersAreOne Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 He's really solid correct? Apparently a financial move but I am still surprised they would cut him. I mentioned in the Raiders section that I would love for us to add him as Guenther is familiar with him and we need help back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 He’s a solid safety. He’ll peobably end up in Minny or Oakland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVillain112 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Surprising, but not too upset with this move. I like Clayton F. more than most, and hopefully Bates won't be too much of a step down from Iloka. Hopefully this also means Darius Phillips makes the team and we actually extend Geno and Dunlap...

MrCincinnati Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 what? don't understand this move at all. he must of done something really bad, no way they just cut him because of money. now you have to look at guys like Michael Johnson, Vincent Rey, Giovani Bernard, Dre Kirkpatrick, and Shawn Williams as guys who aren't safe just because of there contracts.

I think it’s more likely Brandon wilson or one of the young undrafted safeties makes the team. Phillips will make the team and Harris will go on IR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futbudds Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I would like to know what Marvin thinks about this cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INbengalfan Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I'm shocked, but I think this is a prelude to another move. A few things could materialize: 1. The Geno and Dunlap deals get done. ould have both been done earlier, but this is the money we need to make it happen. 2. A backup QB or OT move is on the horizon, and it's one that needs some extra cash to make happen. 3. What ever happened with the Eric reid thing? Did they settle? If it is still lingering out there, maybe they reached a settlement that included a contract for Reid. Obviously I'm just spit-balling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyBacall Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Wow. I want the team to operate differently instead of the same old year in year out mediocrity, but this i don't understand. Iloka has always been solid. Also, this whole schtick of signing free agents or resigning players at less that market value because we honor the length of contract thing is going out the window with Lafell and now Iloka. Maybe less job security will light a fire under the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyBacall Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Why not cut Michael Johnson first? Or is that coming shortly too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Dunlap, Lawson, Willis, and Hubbard now. If Marvin's big issue is that he doesn't think Lawson has the size to play 400+ snaps, we still have Willis and Hubbard. Michael Johnson should be cut and we should use that money on elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I always felt he was better than the other guy back there. Strange move, but he'll land on his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Dunlaps agent will be pointing out that his client isn't taking less guaranteed like players usually do with the Bengals because they're cutting more guys than usual.

SmittyBacall Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Dunlap commented a lone face-palm emoji on the NFL's Instagram post of Iloka's release. I'm sure he's thrilled to resign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
