Thanks.
I don't want him to go either, but I do think he'll have the biggest cap hit of anyone the Bengals would probably sign this offseason, and I think the Bengals will probably have more success finding a good safety to come in right away vs an OL. Bengals have not had good luck with drafted OL their rookie year.
Also, we need to come to the realization that the Bengals will not be able to re-sign all of Spain, Bates, Ogunjobi, Hill, and Uzomah while also being able to upgrade CB, RT, and RG in FA.
At least one of those positions will have to be with a draft pick instead of a proven quality vet.
