I know nothing for sure (and neither does anyone else) except death and taxes.
Then again, I don’t claim to have any inside knowledge of the Bengals players and/or front office.
I had higher hopes for LC. He came in hurt, and then was injured again. Wishing and hoping he’s better than he was last season (which he was mediocre, at best) is a fools wish. My guess, and it’s just a guess, the Bengals will move on from him as a result.
There are plenty of NFL worthy slot receivers and TEs in this draft. Bengals can get better and cheaper with any of the top 4 at either position.
LC is a question mark going into the draft, I doubt we go big in FA so we have to draft one early.
I dont disagree that LC may be done, but unless he and the team agree to a medical settlement it would be close to the start of the season at the earliest before LC could be declared fit to play and then cut. Either way it doesnt do us any good this free agency, maybe at cut time during spring training...?
LC's contract structure when it comes to playing time could be an issue with the medical settlement, I havent looked into it that far.
I agree the TE's are better this draft, not sure I would say plenty, especially if the Top 4 are all gone before our 2nd round pick.
I like a few slots in this draft and they are all speedsters. I suggested this last year during the WR sweepstakes - trade Boyd with 2 years on his deal at max value and sign a speedy guy to replace him. Mims, Scott, Parker Washington fit the mold this draft.
But let me ask you this, what if we plan to move Chase to the slot next year and instead draft another big, and fast outside WR? Just a thought.
