Flowers can play Guard well and he's better at OT than Isaiah Prince and probably D'Ante Smith if Jonah or Collins goes down.
Let Adeniji and either Hill or Prince go to make room for these guys.
The OL will instantly have great depth, IMO.
Approve of this post big time. Bringing in Flowers and bringing Hop back would be fantastic moves for this team.

Feel that if Bengals can have an established rushing attack with Burrow and these WR's all year ?
Then the offense will be a juggernaut and their SB chances soar by making defenses play them honest.
Think Bengals are still formidable if Mixon gets hurt, but definitely missing some of their claws and will be a completely different team without him.
Usually would not want to do this sort of greedy move but think the Bengals can go all in the next 2 seasons and would have loved to have seen this come to fruition. Plus see no way Mixon gets re-signed and need to search for a replacement, yet think that's still a year away so I understand the game plan. .Just worried they will run Joe so much he may not hold up throughout the year.
Still stoked though, they basically the Bengals did everything I wanted in offseason except adding a stud RB.
But everything else I wanted C, RG, RT that are run blockers were added. Thought they may get 2 of them but did not think they would get all 3. Bates replacement in case he acted funny, got it too.
I'm happy.
Yes, I have never had an Offseason like this one where I am happy with every single move and every single addition.
There is always some so called starter that I don't think should be starting every year.
This year it is depth that is the only concern in my eyes. If we can add Flowers and Hop like Ocho said and a vet stud
RB it would be the cherry on top honestly for me. Until I see Zach Carter not being the answer at backup 3-tech I won't
be concerned there, haven't heard anything yet about him good or bad. Will assume he is practicing well.

Chase is a crazy player, he is so tough that this honestly isn't an absurd thought.
He broke that weird ass curse of our 1st round rookies getting hurt every year for heck sake.
Chase has great balance and vision for a WR with break away speed. He could very well play RB like the 49ers use Deebo
and he could be great in doing so just the same.
