2024 Bengals - swilson3828 - 01-23-2023
Brown needs to do what he has to do to keep the core of this team together. He needs to extend Burrow long term and lock up Chase and Higgins. Would love to have Boyd back too, but I highly doubt all three will be re signed. Chase is a must and then one of the other wo with a preference to Higgins. A viable offensive line is a must. Not certain who was signed to a multi as compared to a single season contract. Definitely need to retain Hurst and Irwin. Running back.....let Mixon go if he's able and sign Perine. I think Perine is more than adequate to handle RB duties. Defense.......cut Apple and, if Bates wants to walk then let him walk, and then sign a high quality DB to replace Apple.
Thoughts on your desired roster moves in the offseason?

They still have to sign Bell, Pratt and Wilson I believe. They aren’t signing an expensive corner.

Sign a high quality DB or draft one? You do realize there's a big difference. Not paying Bates what he wants but then going out to sign a high-quality one's going to cost you a lot of money,too.

First things first. Let's go and get this ring. If it was me after signing Joe. My priority would be keeping this defense together as much as possible. What they have going right now is truly special and letting anyone walk is gonna hurt.

Can we worry about finishing the current season and 2023 before we get all twisted about 2024?

No ____! Good grief let it be about the draft and free agency. Plenty of time

Not seeing anyone here "twisted"..this is a Bengals forum where we discuss the Bengals.
Burrows contract will have a impact on the rest of the team when that time gets here..nothing wrong with talking about it..
RE: 2024 Bengals - Sled21 - 01-24-2023
2020 called and wants it's "Cut Apple" moniker back....

It's super nice getting to care about the playoffs and Super Bowl right now instead of speculating who we draft in the top 5.

RE: 2024 Bengals - ochocincos - 01-26-2023
Offensive players I'm prioritizing signing long-term within the next few years:
- Joe Burrow
- JaMarr Chase
- Ted Karras
- Alex Cappa
Defensive players I'm prioritizing signing long-term within the next few years:
- Logan Wilson
- Trey Hendrickson
- Vonn Bell
- Chidobe Awuzie
- Germaine Pratt
- Sam Hubbard OR DJ Reader (I don't think there will be the funds to keep both along with Hendrickson)
There are still solid players at other positions that I did not mention, but the Bengals can't keep everyone.
If any of those other guys can fit in the budget while still being able to retain the above guys I listed, great.
