The Bengals are holding their rookie minicamp this weekend, so they’ve released the names of the undrafted players that they’ve signed to contracts.
In addition to those players and the Bengals’ 2015 draft picks, there will be a slew of players trying out for the Bengals over the next couple of days. The Bengals haven’t announced all of those names, but they have confirmed that one familiar one is taking part.
Geoff Hobson of the team’s website passes along word that Terrelle Pryor is working out with the team this weekend. Pryor was recently cut by the Chiefs after five months on their offseason roster and last played in a regular season game with the Raiders during the 2013 season. The Bengals currently have A.J. McCarron and Josh Johnson as backups behind Andy Dalton. Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson was the Raiders head coach when Pryor joined the team in 2011.
The 11 players the Bengals signed as free agents are Oregon cornerback Troy Hill, Marshall offensive lineman Chris Jasperse, Wisconsin-Whitewater wide receiver Jake Kumerow, Eastern Kentucky tight end Matt Lengel, Concordia-St. Paul kicker Tom Obarski, Texas A&M safety Floyd Raven Sr., Nebraska linebacker Trevor Roach, Louisville center Jake Smith, Azusa Pacific running back Terrell Watson, Iowa fullback Mark Weisman and Clemson defensive tackle DeShawn Williams.
