If your highest paid players give you virtually nothing you’re not going to win many games. Today was a clear cut case of our lack of pass rush costing us a game. The ease in which Rivers sat back and carved us up was embarrassing.
I love both those guys. Two of my favorite Bengals of all time, but I sincerely hope we move on from all these aging players (AJ too) next season. Can’t tie that much money up in over-the-hill players that aren’t producing anymore.
I fear Mike Brown being loyal to a fault will cost us several years of Burrow’s rookie contract.
Don't worry, I'm sure this offseason you'll get your wish. Been thinking that for a few weeks now, and after this game i'm positive of it.
I'd had some hope we might be able to trade Dunlap at the deadline, but given his lousy play and contract that's going to be almost impossible. And flat out impossible for Geno.
Lots of vets are going to get cut in the offseason due to the lower salary cap, making it a buyer's market. And we'll have more cap space than most other teams. I think we'll do in free agency. Despite how crappy this year is turning out, I always thought our next window doesn't open up until 2021 anyway, and I still think we're one good offseason from becoming competitive.
