Levi Jones released by the Bengals

Jim Zorn on Jansen: "Well, Jon's been great, because Jon's worked at right tackle, he's worked at guard, and he's helping us at center. And to be honest with you, he's doing a great job at center, communicating with the guards and getting people in the right place. You know, center's a very communicative position, and he's doing a great job with that. The quarterbacks like him because his butt's so tall, they can just stand up and look at things. They don't have to squat down."

I think Zorn saying this more likely solidifies Jansen NOT being our starting RT this year. Obviously they cant cut him for cap reasons so they are trying to find out if he can be useful in other positions. You don't see them trying Samuels or Dock or even Rabach at other positions. At best I think Jansen could end up being sixth man of the year (sorry, its NBA playoff time)

I agree. I think Jansen is a backup this year but could possibly push Rabach. At least that's the way I read it.
