then say SB contender though we went last year so does that mean never now?  I still see us as competitive, this was the only blowout lose we have had. also what teams in the AFC are playing at SB contender level besides KC and Buffalo ,, maybe Ravens but that is about it.

Get rid of Bates and Mixon and you can sign Higgins. Have to draft another receiver though. Somehow landing Marvin Harrison Jr in 2024 would be ridiculous but they better be nowhere near being able to draft him.

If anything this is an argument to pay Jamarr Chase 30 mill a year and make him the highest paid WR. If the standard is 50 mill and guys like ARod are getting that then Burrow is somewhere closer to 40 million. When he’s on he’s on but he’s not worth top 3 QB money and I’m fine with losing him if it really came down to it.

Man...did you turn on Burrow quick. You start threads about how he's never failed and he can carry this team.

Now you're fine with letting him walk?

So we'd have like $100-110 million a year in Burrow/Chase/Higgins?

I'm kind of surprised this thread is so controversial. It's a given that having a good QB on a rookie deal is a cheat code.

When Burrow makes $45 million a year and Chase $30 million a year...we're going to need to surround them with cheaper guys.

Maybe?  I don't really know.  The cap keeps going up but that may be too much.  But you need someone to take advantage of the attention paid to Chase.

The Saints when they had Brees has a bunch of cheap WR's and spread the ball around. I think you keep Chase and keep bringing in speed guys in the draft.

Then, invest money in the lines.

The Bengals will likely struggle with building around Burrow paid highly with this coaching staff.

I’m going to trust my eyes and Joe Goodberry’s opinion on Cappa over yours. Unless you can convince me you watch the same amount of film he does.

I'd argue that Karras is the same guy he's always been and Cappa is having his best year in his career. And starting a rookie 4th rounder from NDSU and getting solid production!
So yes, Jonah and Collins are having the worst years of their careers for different reasons. https://t.co/Si0RWTx7Jy

Yeah I suppose if you have a rock solid line then you can get away with a stud and some burners. I’d keep everyone for next year though.

Cappa, Karras, and Volson have been fine. Volson may have a bright future that could be Pro Bowl. It's hard to say of course.

Volson is being overrated. His pressure rate is high for a LG

Jonah had a high pff rating last season, but people here say he wasnt as good as his rating because of all the sacks he allowed

but when Volson puts up a decent score, everyone just ignores the pressure rate and claims he's good? It's confusing. Selective thinking

NO, give Burrow an elite line & we don't need but one #1 receiver. Give him the same time that Brissett had & we blow out a lot of teams.
