## Resource

The Bengals added linebacker Swayze Bozeman on waivers from the New York Giants along with 11 undrafted free agents to fill out their 90-man roster, and got through rookie minicamp with full participation and no contract drama. Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down what it means that they went the waiver route to add a veteran linebacker with special teams experience, and if it portends inactivity for additional moves at linebacker. Plus, we break down the takeaways from rookie minicamp including Cashius Howell's participation and contract commentary, the chip on Jack Endries' shoulder, and the outlook for Colbie Young. Plus, we break down this year's crop of Bengals UDFAs.
