Reiff is serviceable-to-solid, but he's not close to elite by any means.
I definitely don't think (or even want) the Bengals will spend $12+ mill on an OT.
I think the most they'd spend is $10 mill.

I like Morgan Moses and Trent Brown more than Reiff for RT, and neither should be crazy expensive.

You bring up that new OL coaching assistant, which I didn't factor in. Maybe he's the missing key. I just don't have that confidence yet with the current OL coaches to really develop a draft pick though.

I've also been one of the posters mentioning there isn't going to be as much money flying around as some think/hope.
Bengals will have to make some hard decisions and/or let some positions stay in current state or try having a draft pick upgrade.

I reiterate that the 17 game season and the dynamics of actually a 21 game season counting the post season really makes a solid entire roster important depth wise. We were fortunate injury wise. But we also had particularly at linebacker backups make a huge difference. That’s why I think they keep Hopkins, Spain, and Reiff. Don’t know the number mind you but let’s say it’s 50 million price tag for the OL position group. They don’t want 5 starters @ $40 and 5 reserves @ $10 million. Just my guess.
