Doesn't Dre eventually have to be replaced by a draft choice?
Should we just bring back our starters forever until they fall over and then try to start a rookie?
The Bengals are doing exactly what the smart teams do. Let players walk before they absolutely stink. And draft guys a year or two early so you don't have to force a rookie to start.
Well Andre is only 29. So... He could easily play 3 more years.
Resigning Winston is not letting players walk before they absolutely stink. That is the exact opposite.
You bring back your starters until someone takes their job. No one has taken Andre's job. We are handing the job to someone. Handing a job to an unproven player especially something as important as T could be trouble.
Andy loses two weapons, no burfict for the first few games, and we have to break in a brand new tackle, and they always have growing pains. We could be looking at a rough start to the year.
