Jake says he's proven he's a starter and top 32 in the world at his position

[Bengal Dude]

Browning is an ERFA entering this offseason. The Bengals will tender him and he will be our backup in 2024. After that, he's an RFA so the Bengals can still tender him. They're not going to put the lowest tender on him, so they'll at least put the 2nd level on him in terms of getting a 2nd round pick back. I don't see anyone willing to give up that high of a pick for Browning. So, the Bengals need to plan on having him for two years. They can draft a late round QB or undrafted guy and carry him on the PS for the year and then evaluate him in 2025 and see if he can eventually take over Browning's spot after he leaves.
