Bengals could add someone new to OL, but it would mean letting some defensive starter(s) walk.
And they indicated a couple weeks ago their priority is retaining their own, so the big name guys likely aren't happening unless they were already Bengals.
Yeah hard to see them give Taylor 60M guaranteed over resigning Wilson, Reader and possibly Awuzie.
They may stay at 28 and take the best tackle available since there is likely one of them still available that would be in the top 40 overall players. You could deal down a few and gain a pick like they did with Carman, Price and Mixon, but they may justify the move because of the 5th year rookie deal for a OT. A really good player at another position calling changes the plan and then you better have vet trade contingencies. Either way, any rookie shouldn't be written in pen. They need to end up with a descent fringe guy like Fant as a bridge player. Their guy may not come until maybe Wednesday.
