Today should be the day when the Bengals release the names of 6-10 undrafted players they have agreed to terms with. Instead, NFL teams, players and agents are waiting for the new league year to start. Whenever that happens, teams will rush to sign players they may have coveted during the NFL Draft. Undrafted players have as good of a chance to make the Bengals 53 man roster as the players chosen in rounds six and seven. In the Marvin Lewis era, the Bengals have kept 30 UDFAs in 8 seasons. That's an average of 3.75 per season, and as many as 7 UDFAs ended up playing on the 53 man roster in 2008. And that's not counting the practice squad. I have compiled a list of 35 undrafted free agents with the best shot at making the Bengals 53 man roster in September. If any of the players on this list just so happen to read this, please sign with the Cincinnati Bengals.
