This team needs to tank

They don't have a chance at winning the division this year and are most likely going to end the year looking up at the Ravens, Steelers, and Browns.

Why tank? To get the first pick in the draft and reboot the QB position. To accumulate draft picks and swap out old veteran guys that are on the back end of their career for younger, cheaper talent.

If im the Bengals, I commit to rebuilding and tanking over the next couple of seasons. I would draft Klyer Murray this year, evaluate him and see if he can be the QB of the future. If not, continue looking for your guy or hold out for the ultimate prize of Trevor Lawrence. Trade guys like AJ, Geno, and Dunlap for picks.

The window is closed. Time to reboot and start over.

Man that is a tough one Weezy! I wish Football had a WAR stat like baseball. How many wins does AJ mean above another Receiver. AJ is 31 and I don't see this team being able to win a Super Bowl as currently built. Contract is up at years end and will demand a healthy sum. A baseball team would probably part with him. I can see the argument, but not sure if I could pull the trigger. If I was offered a 1st round and 3rd round pick, would be difficult not to take it. As for Geno and Dunlap, I don't think the return would be large enough to make the trade.
