Saints Consider Trade for Bengals Guard Volson Amid Potential Savings:
The New Orleans Saints are reportedly eyeing a trade for Cincinnati Bengals guard Cordell Volson as the Bengals prepare for a potential roster shake-up. With the possibility of saving $2.5 million in cap space, Volson has emerged as a candidate for release or trade ahead of the upcoming season.
Cordell Volson, now in his fourth season, finds himself in a precarious position with the Bengals. As teams evaluate their rosters leading up to the cutdown day, his future with Cincinnati appears uncertain. The Athletic’s Paul Dehner has noted that while Volson has a chance to solidify his starting role, the Bengals could be motivated to move on if they identify a comparable player among their younger options.
Dehner remarked, “Although there’s also a chance he wins the starting job…the Bengals would save $2.5 million by releasing or trading Volson.” This sentiment reflects a growing trend in the NFL where teams are constantly seeking to optimize their rosters, particularly in areas as crucial as the offensive line.
