Joe Reedy and C. Trent tweeted about 15 minutes ago that the Bengals have brought former Bengal, defensive tackle Langston Moore, formerly of the Detroit Lions and NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals, back to Cincinnati. Moore will likely contend for a rotational position and back up Domata Peko, Tank Johnson, and rotate in with Pat Sims. Moore played in 9 games for Detroit last year, registering 12 tackles and 1 sack.
He was the first overall pick in the sixth round of the 2003 draft by the Bengals. He spent 2003 on the practice squad before playing 15 games in 2004.

must be little confidence in Clinton McDonald.
I’m starting think Frostee Rucker is in trouble too.
If they keep 8 DL, DT’s are looking like Tank, Sims, Peko and i guess Moore. DE’s are looking like Michael Johnson, Odom, Geathers, and Fanene.
Rucker has had trouble with injuries, but so has Fanene. Really they’re taking a gamble on either one of these guys.
It’s also interesting that they moved Jason Shirley to the OLine, and then sign Moore. Why not sign a OG???? the O-line needs depth not projects.
guess we’ll see how this all shakes out…..
3 yards and a pile of dust
My guess is McDonald will end up on the practice squad.
I don’t know why they thought Moore was the right choice, but hopefully he doesn’t have to see much playing time this year / we can avoid injuries.
well I thought we had depth at this position
but now im thinking differently after an 0 and 16 dumped this guy
with Pernell Phillips out again, they might just need a Rotational guy
"Ghiaciuc's play was a distraction"
The Bengals made the move because they need bodies. Rookie tackles Clinton McDonald and Pernell Philips are dinged up and veteran ends Antwan Odom (Achilles) amd Frostee Rucker (hip) are fighting injuries. But the 6-1, 305-pound Moore has a shot to make this team behind Domata Peko, Tank Johnson, and Pat Sims depending how many D-linemen they keep.
i asked John Thornton what he thought...
“JohnThornton@jGoods13 bengals signed Langston?? Good move. He’s a good inside rusher. I hope he gets a shot 2 stick. I hated to see him cut 3yrs ago”
"Ghiaciuc's play was a distraction"
JT has good things to say about everyone.
Let’s hope he’s right.

I like it
I was surprised when they cut him 3 year ago. I thought he played well. I dont see him being a game changer but with him in the rotation he could be productive.
Wow...
So they felt they needed to sign another DT…and rather than moving Jason Shirley BACK over from OG to his natural position…where he played up until what, a week ago(?), they sign Langston Moore!
Genius.
