I guess I understand what you are saying better now. As long as Trey and Shemar are ready to go by the regular season I am pretty happy
about this Offseason. I know everyone wanted the big names at Guard, but we don't know if those names fit the scheme like Patrick and
Fairchild must. We also don't know if a player like Scherff is ready to retire or that Hernandez is even healthy.

I don’t think some are being fair to the Bengals FO/Ownership. Signing Tee & Chase was huge and by far the biggest priority. Then was Trey. They really want Trey but I think that he and his agent aren’t being realistic from what I’ve heard. I get it Trey loves Cincinnati as he and his wife are very settled.A big long term contract to finish his career is his wish. Doubtful he’s getting a long term contract. The Bengals I’ve made this analogy. They are the guy in your poker group who hardly raises unless his hand is likely to win. He takes no chances. He never wins the most or loses the most. They don’t expose themselves on aging players.

I get that, it is just Trey hasn't shown any signs of falling off yet. To just assume he will fall off might not be a good move here. They have the money
to pay him 32 mil per year for at least a couple years. If Trey is passing on that, that is his bad honestly. That is double what he is making now this year.

Trey seems to be a good guy..and he has a really good 5-6 games a year when he accumulates all his sacks..the rest of the time he appears to be stck in a college wrestling match with the opposing tackle..defense stunk with hendrickson and if the team has not rectfified the other deficiencies it will not matter if trey us here or not..I would not ...not even close...double his salary and extend the legth of his contract...but thats just me.

Here's one of those lies i was talking about. This has already been specifically debunked and has zero truth in it. Not opinion. Fact.
Next week is training camp. If Bengals don't have one of the two in camp of Hendrickson and Stewart, then at that point I'll predict Bengals to lose in Cleveland and in September. Bengals will continue getting off to bad starts. Some may blame Hendrickson and Stewart. If Bengals lose in September, many will blame Coach Taylor. How I will put all the blame on Mike Brown and Family, because I've seen decade of Mike Brown and Family ruining the teams chances with their cheap and stupid moves.
I now highly doubt either will be in training camp next week. So I predict Cleveland Browns will go through Bengals swiss cheese defense and beat our Bengals, as Bengals lose again week one. As always, they will have built in excuses why they aren't ready to start the season. Those thinking at Cleveland will be easy, it normally isn't. Look for Cleveland to show up ready and Cincinnati to show up not ready. Thanks Mike Brown and Family.
See, its not just not having Hendrickson. It's also not having a #1 draft pick from this year, which means they blew the draft completely. Bad news for Bengals who have been one of worst defensive teams in NFL last few seasons. A defense that needed help, gets no help and gets even worse. No pass rush means any NFL quarterback will have all day to throw and move the chains and burn the Bengals like toast all game long. Many games Burrow will have to run for his life, but other teams QB will have all day to throw. In short, Bengals will lose in The Trenches, especially on defensive line. Again, thanks Mike Brown and Family as they seem to be putting together another Mike Brown 4 win only season, not a run back to Super Bowl.
Every team has their #1 draft pick signed except Bengals. Way to go Mikey Boy and Family. Hey Mikey, he likes it.
