The Bengals made many moves on final cut down day.  The NFL requires that all teams get their roster down to 53 players.  Here are the Bengals moves as of today.

The Bengals have traded an undisclosed conditional 2008 draft choice to the St. Louis Rams for QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, a third-year NFL player. Fitzpatrick (6-2, 225; Harvard) was a seventh-round Rams draft choice in 2005. He is in the final year of a three-year deal.  He played in four games with three starts in 05, and played in one game last season. His career passing statistics are 76-for-135 (56.0%) for 777 yards with four TDs and eight INTs. He played in three of the Ramsfour preseason games (DNP in Game 2), passing 28-for-44 (63.6%) for 249 yards with one TD and two INTs.  At Houston in 2005, Fitzpatrick became the fifth player in NFL history to pass for 300 yards in a debut. He earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors, coming off the bench to pass for 310 in leading a 33-27 overtime victory.

Terminated the contracts of three veterans not subject to waivers, releasing them to free agency:

DT Kenderick Allen, LB Edgerton Hartwell, QB Doug Johnson

Waived four second-year players:

WR Bennie Brazell of Louisiana State
S John Busing of Miami (Ohio)
WR Reggie McNeal of Texas A&M
OT Alan Reuber of Texas A&M

Waived three first-year players:

TE Tim Day of Oregon
G Nate Livings of Louisiana State
FB Chris Manderino of California

Waived eight rookies:

HB Curtis Brown of Brigham Young
LB Earl Everett of Florida
WR Jesse Holley of North Carolina
DE Xzavie Jackson of Missouri
LB Matt Muncy of Ohio
G Harrison Nikolao of Eastern Washington
DT Matt Toeaina of Oregon
OT Dane Uperesa of Hawaii

Issued waivers (injured) on three players:

K Aaron Elling (fourth year; Wyoming)
CB Brandon Williams (first year; Michigan)
CB T.J. Wright (college free agent; Ohio)

Bengals also placed fourth-year HB Chris Perry of Michigan on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list. Perry has not been cleared for practice due to rehab from a dislocated ankle suffered last season. Perry will remain with the team for
rehab and meetings, but may not practice. Beginning the week following Week 6 NFL play, he will be eligible to return to practice under a roster exemption. Upon returning to practice, he may work during a 21-day period, the end of which serves
as a deadline for his non-exempt roster status to be determined.

Bengals also moved third-year WR Chris Henry of West Virginia to the Reserve/Suspended by Commissioner list. It had previously been announced that Henry would be suspended for the first eight regular season games, for violation of NFL policies. PRACTICE SQUAD NOTE: All the players waived today (not including waived-injured) are eligible to be signed tomorrow to an NFL practice squad. The Bengals plan to announce tomorrow a practice squad of up to eight players.
