This is a terrible take. He is a good offensive lineman and he is only 29 years old. He is actually a better RT than a LG but he can play both well. That article by his own team's website says it all. My point is if they can sign him for around 3/21M then he can be penciled in for RT and if they want Sewell and he is there at 5 then great. Feiler can play LG.
The Bengals need 5 competent offensive lineman. He would certainly qualify.
Though Thuney has been my #1 but we may not get a crack at him, Feller makes a ton of sense. I fear though that the lack of top grade tackles will get these B or C grade tackles overpaid. Feller would make total sense as a starting long term RT that can kick to guard if we get lucky with Sewell.
Someone mentioned Trey Hendrickson earlier. Because of Lawson's injury history, even if Hendrickson had a career contract year I'd consider him or Dupree as the #1 priority. Get the healthy young DE to build with and focus on getting two starting OL after that. As horrible as the OL is, there are more options beyond your #1 guy there and you can't go into the draft needing a stud DE with the terrible current DL.

I think we're going to be surprised how much Thuney ends up getting. With so few "high-end" OL guys available, I could see it being a few million more than the $14M per that a lot have been speculating.

Based on their history with offensive linemen, I guess he wasn't a bad choice. I heard that the Bengals didn't want to offer a third year.
