Going to really miss him. Looks like his money went to Pratt.

What do you mean his money Bengals are still well under the cap and can free up more with certain cuts. Bullshit.

Especially Washington. We may have seen all that Mayer can do, but he was the most productive TE.
I'd be cool with Mayer too, but I just think Washington is an even better blocker already plus he has a good ceiling as a pass catcher too.
Mayer is the safer selection though, for sure.

Pratt back and Vonn Bell gone... I think every Bengals fan expected the exact opposite.
I have the Heart of a Lion! I also have a massive fine and a lifetime ban from the Pittsburgh Zoo...

I would have rather signed Bell over Pratt. There is no way the Bengals aren't signing a free agent safety. I love Bell and his leadership and I really wanted him back at a fair price, however, he looked like he had lost a little bit of a step this past year.

I sure did. If you told me this was the case a week ago, I'd have thought you had them mixed up because it for sure felt like it was going to be the other way around.

Feel the same, I know not many want to take a TE in the first but if Darnell Wright is gone I would think about one of Mayer or Darnell
Washington. Both are good blockers but Washington is a fantastic blocker with crazy upside and giant hands and he can go up and get
the ball like a beast as we saw at the Combine.

Joe Burrow has to be extended, same with Wilson, Higgins, and then Chase next year. Cannot re-sign everybody forever, have to let some walk to stay under the cap.

With Bell gone now anyone think there's a chance they might just resign Bates?

Thornhill would be a nice grab for us.

I don't personally think so. ATL & SF are the most likely spots I am reading so far. Bates is just going to be too expensive IMO.

Well if Bengals are play compensatory pick game, we have lost 1 FA and signed none.
I do think if Bates is reasonable, he could be back in stripes for a long time. He is the QB of our defense. Bell was a very good safety, but no QB of the defense.
Free Agency ain't over until it is over.

Maybe Burrow has told Mike Brown that he wants to make more money than Daniel Jones, after all.

SF signed Gibson, but bigger move was Hargaves. They are cap poor now unless they cut and restructure players.
Falcons are loaded with cap money.

I'm bummed we didn't keep Bell. I appreciated his contributions to the team.
