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. 

Not sure why you think this year will be different than last year for Reiff.

He wasn't a day one pick-up for the Bengals and had yet another season with injury leading to missing games. I could see Spain getting more interest then Reiff early on to be honest.

Bates would be the first one that has offers from other teams if he is left un-signed.
