KC and Philly were much healthier. The way the OL was gelling I really think we’d have won it all this year. I like looking at your top opponents and their off season situation. I don’t think KC retains Orlando Brown. Buffalo and Brandon Beane are already crying in their soup for cap issues. Philly has a whole team of free agents. SF as others picked looks the most formidable.
The Bengals to me look like they can survive off season free agency and can improve their team the best. I doubt they cut Mixon or restructure. I know I’m in the minority. I think they give up their second rounder and swap first rounders with Detroit and get a tackle at 18.
A lot of good points Soonerpeace. Don't forget DJ being down for quite a bit. We can improve even if we keep Mixon's contract but
I still think the best move is to either restructure his contract or cut him so we can afford more improvements and go all in on a SB.
We need a couple OT's. 1 in FA and 1 early in the Draft because of La'el's injury and Jonah not playing up to par and also always
being banged up. Would be nice to also add some to the Secondary, but we have to retain Bell, Hurst, Perine, Apple and Flowers.
Cutting Mixon who isn't a good pass blocker would be the easiest move to really improve the team and you know I like Mixon.
Just doesn't matter how good of a runner or pass catcher you are at RB if you cannot pass block. Perine can pass block and so
can Trayveon Williams and we can add a talented RB that can pass block in the Draft.
