News is Zeitler breaks the bank and comes out very high paid. Possible teams are 49ers or Browns but many others wanting him....Kirkpatrick, the news is The Steelers want him, Also the Titans among other teams....Denver says they are ready to out bid Bengals for Whitworth.
I'm not seeing much news on LaFell or Burkhead or Peko.....Bengals did tender an offer to TJ Johnson so in case they lose him they get a 7th round pick, WOW, that's exciting. Bengals and their collecting 7th round picks, the cheapest picks to pay....A Fan on this site said watch Peko be the only one they keep, and added lol. It may be Peko is the only one they keep and we can add fcol...for crying out loud.

It's been reported that the Bengals want to resign Peko to mentor Billings.

fcol
Lol, so we will lose all of our top free agents and sign back worthless Peko.
This should prove the Bengals are active in free agency: Actively letting the best players walk. We should have seen this coming when Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones left last year without the Front Office even trying to bring them back.
If Andrew Whitworth and Kevin Zeitler walk, look for Andy Dalton to pull a Carson Palmer act and demand a trade.
Every hour is comedy hour with the bengals

In other words.....nothing is a done deal yet, and thus this is hysterical speculation. Gotcha.
Where is this "news" coming from???
And keeping Peko for a year until we see what we actually have in Billings is a smart move, and has nothing to do with whether we keep Whit, Kirk or Zeitler....

Just kill me now. Please just end the hurt.
What I don't understand is why the team can't see that this is a one-year window at this point? If you're not going to go all out to put together the best roster next year, you might as well clean house now. Operating in the middle ground has zero upside.

We still have enough core talent for the next few years (until Atkins and Dunlap decline) to atleast be mediocre.
It's very rare in the NFL to actually clean house and get rid of all of your veterans. The Browns did it and the 49ers were forced to when a bunch of players retired.
The Bengals probably feel that guys like Jackson, Vigil, and Billings can step in and start. Then the 1st Round pick this year. That's in theory 4 new starters.
Don't worry guys, it's all a clever master plan to blame next years failures on the loss of talent. Not on Marvin being a turd.

Billings, fine. Vigil, given some of the other guys we have played at LB, I can stomach it.
A rookie with 3 days of training camp, Dennard and Adam Jones? Color me worried.
Where are they spending the money? The cap went up almost 11M. They can't possibly consider extending Tyler Eifert long-term with the uncertainty of this regime, can they?
Honestly...IF the Bengals let Whitworth, Zeitler, and Kirkpatrick go and replaced them with younger players who were on the upswing...I'd be ok with that.
Whitworth is the oldest starting Tackle in the NFL. He's going to decline soon and it may be sharp.
Kirkpatrick is above average but not great.
Zeitler is the best Guard...but he's not great either.
IF the Bengals would commit that money to upgrading other roster positions...it wouldn't be so bad. But they likely won't.
