There is an influx of new players with each NFL offseason. If a team attacks free agency and drafts well, some new faces join teams expected to be starters. Last year, the Cincinnati Bengals added six new players to their roster who were first-time starters for the men in stripes.
How many new starters will they enter the 2024 season with? Here is the list of projected starters not on Cincinnati’s roster last year.
Every Bengals starter that was not on the team last year:
Offensive tackle Trent Brown signed as a free agent back in March. The expectation when he inked his one-year deal was that he would replace Jonah Williams at right tackle.
Despite bringing Brown in to start, Cincinnati drafted Amarius Mims in the first round of the NFL draft. The plan is for him to eventually take over the tackle position. But until he is healthy and ready, it is up to Brown to protect Burrow’s front side.
Brown did not play in the preseason, so the first time we will see him in-game action is against the New England Patriots, the team he played for last year.
Running back Zack Moss signed this offseason after spending the first four years as a pro up the road in Indianapolis. He is considered Joe Mixon’s replacement, who departed for Houston. However, the Bengals have Chase Brown on the roster, and he is a perfect fit for what Cincinnati needs from the position.
