Joe Burrow's contract restructure secures T.J. Slaton Jr.'s roster spot
Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals have created significant salary cap space following Joe Burrow's contract restructure, which likely ensures T.J. Slaton Jr. retains his place on the 53-man roster. Slaton Jr. served as a critical presence on the defensive line last season as the team navigates a roster reshuffle due to high-profile signings. The Bengals recently released their training camp fan schedule, with practices starting on July 29, signaling preparation for the upcoming season. As the team aims for success in the 2026 season, limiting turnovers will be a key focus.
