So roughly $26.25m/yr, but $6m savings from cutting Hopkins when you replace him with Bozeman. Even if you add extra money thinking they'll be $2m/yr each or whatever more than projection that is very reasonable to absolutely just fix the entire IOL instantly.
I don't think any of the three teams could realistically franchise tag those guys (only the Bears technically have the money) and they're not just significant upgrades, but also are young enough that the Bengals can keep the same OL together for a good couple years. Daniels heading into age 25 season, Corbett heading into age 27 season, Bozeman heading into age 28 season. Combined with Jonah heading into age 25 season and a 1st round RT, that OL could be completely together for 4-5 years no problem.
Plus as an added bonus all three have been winners in their careers. (Rams and Ravens, obviously, but surprisingly the Bears are actually 34-31 in his 4 years.)
James Daniels is the only one of the three to have missed any games the last 2 years, and that was the only games he missed in his whole 4 year career. So no real injury concerns either. Availability being the best ability and all that jazz.
Also like Daniel Faalele at #31. Huge human being to play RT and Daniel Jeremiah said he reminded him a little of Orlando Brown Jr and I have seen his pro comparisons as Jordan Mailata who was just PFFs #3 T in 2021.
