There is absolutely no way we use the franchise tag on Riley Reiff, but  we still may re-sign him.

Bates in a long term deal is possible especially if we dump the Wayne's contract. 

We have to try to either keep Larry O or BJ Hill.

?  can be fruit ninja'd. 

Uzomah is an interesting one to me. He's on the fringe of being one the better TEs but ehhhh not quite. We can not overpay him if we do keep him. 

We have to at least in my opinion have 2 to 3 new starters on the offensive line but there must be competition everywhere on the line including LT.
Our draft capital and Cap space should allow us to make such changes.  Don't be surprised if we end up getting a CB in FA as well. 

Other teams will be all over Reiff and Bates on Day One of Free Agency.  They will not be as easy to resign because of that.  Now if you are saying Uzomah is a Free Agent also, that is a problem.   The Bengals will have to use their one Franchise Tag wisely.  The Bengals do not have long to decide who they lock in for one more year with the Tag. 

I don't think the entire O Line is up for being replaced. Getting rid of all 5 starters on a Super Bowl O Line could just put Bengals back in Last Place.  Jonah Williams and others will be back.  They do need to Add some Better Blockers, but in no way would I suggest a complete elimination and rebuild after winning 3 Play-Off Games and AFC.   The First Bengal Draft Pick must be a BLOCKER, that should not even be up for debate. Burrow needs a lot more BLOCKING.  What Burrow did behind this Line, he really should have been NFL MVP.
