Feb 20th to Mar 5th : Franchise Tag Period
Feb 27 to Mar 4th : NFL Draft Scouting Combine
Mar 13th : Free Agency Signing Begins
Apr 25 to Apr 27 : NFL Draft
As soon as Draft over, Undrafted Free Agents called by teams to fill out rosters.
So with 2 top WR's ready to leave Bengals, will they Franchise Tag one of them, or tag some other position, or not use the tag at all.
WR is going to be key to watch on who Bengals let go, and who Bengals might replace them with in free agency or the draft. Plus Bengals need to sign Chase long term in his last year of his contract. Providing Joe Burrow with Pass Targets is Key to any Play-Off and Super Bowl dreams. We will watch and see how it all plays out.
One observation going forward is Coach Taylor Playbook seems many plays need WR's that can Block. Last few years all Bengals WR's could flat out block. I don't think it's enough that new WR's coming in can catch, they also have to be good blockers to run the Coach Taylor Playbook. Bengals run so many plays where the WR has to make a block for another WR or a RB. Up to now, Bengals have been loaded with good blocking WR's on those screens and slants and run plays. If Bengals can not reload with good pass blocking WR's, could the Bengals go to more TE's like some teams. We will see.
