The offseason has officially begun for the Cincinnati Bengals.

The club has signed nine players to Reserve/Future contracts, meaning they will not count on the team's active list until February 12. Here's the list of players:

  • DT Domenique Davis
  • CB Allan George
  • C Nate Gilliam
  • DE Jeff Gunter
  • LB Shaka Heyward
  • WR Shedrick Jackson
  • G Jaxson Kirkland
  • WR Kwamie Lassiter II
  • WR Kendric Pryor

All nine players were a part of the Bengals' practice squad this past season. Kirkland finished the year on the Practice squad/Injured list.

Heyward, Jackson, and Kirkland were also rookies last season. Everyone else has had at least one year of experienced under their belt previously. 

These nine also made up the majority of the younger players on the Bengals' practice squad. Veterans Sidney Jones IV, Stanley Morgan Jr., and Michael Thomas are set to be street free agents.

The Bengals will have 47 players on their roster the Monday after the Super Bowl.
