Cincinnati Bengals Cutting Ties With Wide Receiver

The Cincinnati Bengals are expected to cut ties with wide receiver Dohnte Meyers, a CFL All-Star in 2025.

What happened?

Meyers had a strong season in the Canadian Football League, totaling 1,056 receiving yards and 8 receiving touchdowns.

He was named a CFL-West All-Star and helped the Saskatchewan Roughriders win the CFL Championship.

Why it matters for Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals signed Meyers after his impressive season, but the addition of Colbie Young, a fourth-round draft pick, decreases Meyers' chances of making the team.

Bengals Wire's Chris Roling predicted that Meyers will be cut, along with other wide receivers Kendric Pryor, Ke'Shawn Williams, Xavier Johnson, Jordan Moore, and Noah Thomas.

What comes next?

The Bengals are rebuilding their roster after three straight seasons of missing the postseason, and quarterback Joe Burrow has declared this the most talented team he's been on since being drafted in 2020.

The team's next game is against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 13, 2026.

As of now, the Bengals are standing 16th in the American Football Conference with a 3-14 record, on a two-game losing streak.

The Bengals' wide receiver room is expected to be competitive, with Tee Higgins, Ja'Marr Chase, and Andrei Iosivas projected to make the team.

Meyers' special teams versatility, including 11 kickoff returns for 319 yards and 9 punt returns for 94 yards, may not be enough to secure him a roster spot.

The Bengals' offense is looking to improve, with all 11 starters returning, and the team is hoping to make a push for the playoffs.
