Oh crap, we need a Center

The Bengals just need a stopgap until Hopkins is back.
Price is still going to be on the roster, and they have BJ Finney, who they can keep until Hopkins is back.
Michael Jordan also played C at Ohio St, so perhaps they make him the emergency C.

The thing is Hopkins is okay, but nothing special. In other words, he can be upgraded instead of settling for okay. Span and XSF are definitely replaceable, as is Hart. I’d argue in today’s NFL the fastest way to the QB is the interior line, and that the Bengals have the worst interior line in the league. Talent aside, we know this front office’s track record and tendencies, so expect a lower level of investment on the line, with assurances that underperformers are ready to make the leap. A couple draft picks, and 1-2 3rd to 4th tier signings are the most probable outcome.
