Bengals with Sam LaPorta are comfortably in the playoffs this year, and wouldn't be in trouble offensive-weapon-wise in 2024.
Many posters on draft day were clamoring for LaPorta. And they may have been right. With the Lions he had 86 receptions, 889 yards, and ten touchdowns. Myles Murphy had 10 solo tackles and 3 sacks. He better have the light go on soon or this will comparison will just get worse each year. Maybe, as some claim, the Bengals don't use a TE. But maybe they would have if they had LaPorta.
