He played 1022 snaps and had a 71.0 PFF rating (65.7 pass, 74.9 run).
He's extremely durable and well-rounded.
Brian Allen is not worse than Hopkins.
Allen was PFF's 10th rated Center.
Including the postseason, Allen had a grade of 74.8. 62.4 pass block, 79.7 run block.
5 sacks allowed including postseason, same number as Hopkins.
I'm not sure why CHI chose not to tag Daniels either, but I would assume it's because they only have $24 mill in cap space. Tagging Daniels would have been $16.6 mill, as the tag doesn't differentiate by OT vs OG vs C.
I don't know what to tell you, but Bengals aren't getting a ton of high-priced players in FA.
They simply don't have enough cap to do it.
You're going to have to settle for players in the $5-10 mill range.
Moses was on the bench on a one year $4M tender and took over when Becton was hurt. Fant slid to LT and Moses was the RT.
Some think Allen is a product of the quick pass offense the 22-Film stuff I have seen he is not close to the upper tier guys we are looking at, several guys that do these tape sessions seem to have a consensus on the guy that isnt overwhelmingly positive.

They actually have the cash on hand to make it work for a couple of solid oline guys and one DT. It's not just cap, as you are well aware.
However you are most likely correct, regardless of cap or cash we wont see what we would really hope for...
We could get one of these centers and the average of each position group for under 35M cap hit, depending on signing bonuses, IMO.
C: Jensen or Bozeman. 11-13M
T: T Brown (hi)/ Moses (med)/ Ifedi (lo). 7-11M
G: Tomlinson or Corbett (hi)/ Cappa or Karras or Norwell (med)/ Willliams (lo). 6-10M
DT: Hill or Ogunjobi (and a low cost vet) 7-9M
CB: D Jackson or D Williams (hi)/ R Douglas (med)/ Witherspoon or S Jones (lo) 4-10M
