While I think a Henry move is interesting, I do not see us spending big on RB.

Again, we don't want to cut the guys who do restructures to help the team. We would love others to follow suit (Cappa, Karras, Hilton, Hill, Burrow, etc).

I think we chalk up the problems on D to the inexperienced safeties and on O to Burrow's injuries. We look to mostly run it back one more time. The FO thinks the core of the team is SB caliber. They get one more shot to get it done.

The upcoming FA market is packed with talented RBs.

The Bengals should easily be able to find a quality RB for under $3 mill APY in that group. They may just have to wait a week or two after the big contracts hit and the guys remaining start being willing to take cheaper deals to play for contenders.
