Bengals cutting a 2024 seventh-round pick signals confidence issues despite his potential. Multiple outlets note Cincinnati now lacks proven backup center depth after the move. The one-day timing after losing another interior lineman suggests reactive roster management rather than planning. Fans debate whether Lee deserved more opportunity or if the team saw something concerning. Cincinnati must now address center depth through free agency or the waiver wire immediately.
