I don’t think we can do all that with 49M. I’m also in favor of letting go of Mixon if it meant a better O line.
We actually have quite a few holes. And every team is looking to get better. I saw an article about Chiefs going after Chris Godwin. Could you imagine us beating the chiefs with Hill, Godwin, Kelce + their other super fast receivers. The Bengals have to improve if they want to win the super bowl. Not only because they lost, so easy thing to say is they need to improve, but also because the chiefs, Titans, bills, chargers, patriots are all trying to get better.
I actually want another WR added to the mix. If chase or Huggins go down, we may be struggling to score 30+. FA WR or a ;thanks round speedster would be nice.
Respectfully we can’t come close to your wish list. I’m gonna have to scratch my head at some of your wishes. Retaining Bates at minimum on a franchise tag to develop a plan there. You obviously want to fix the OL with 3 FA’s. If they went with 3 that are in demand that will take a huge chunk of our money. We are in much better shape than the Bills or Chiefs. They’ve got some FA’s to resign and a whole lot less money to work with.
Of course the OL needs an overhaul. I’m gonna have to disagree with your plan. Such an overhaul on the team that came down to the wire of winning a SB doesn’t need to mess with the roster as much as you suggest. The OL needs 2 FA’s and the first round pick.
