Trade for Collins and I would be happy.  I do agree, they need one more guy.

I don't think we are done, but they may lay back for the next 12-18 hours and see how the market sets up. Interestingly this has been a bit slower than expected league wide, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Could see prices start coming down tomorrow afternoon.

Nice deal for a former bust.

Tier 2 day always has surprises....

I think he is talking about Laken Tomlinson who was a bust in DET.

The Cappa deal doubles the AAV of the highest amount the #Bengals had ever given to a guard in their history.

Joe Burrow changes the way they do business yet again.

“The Bengals don’t pay guards” can officially be put to rest.

Ah gotcha.

Turns out it’s more so 35 Over 4 with incentives.

Just saw, it’s officially a 6.75 hit in 2022. They are going to come out of today with far more cap than we think it looks like with Hopkins and Waynes still likely cuts.

You have to think a significant right tackle is imminent.  

It's a reasonably structured contract.

Kind of feels like there is still a big move to drop. None of the big time tackles have signed yet so maybe there, could be an edge rusher as a dark horse too I think.

Excellent signing by this franchise. Hats off to Zac Taylor and this staff for continuing to build upon the success they have had by being very aggressive in adding key talent early in free agency.

I think we still make a reasonably big move at RT. I think its doubtful we like the OL prospects at 31 and we should be open to trading that pick. If we swapped our 1st for the Cowboys 2nd and Collins that would work out for us pretty well right now.

LMAO....the issues were on the interior line. Even when Reiff went down RT was not the weak link. The RG position made Prince look far worse than he was. With the additions of Cappa and Karras this line is far better than it was last year. Especially, if Karra is being looked at to play Center.

Not sure where you are getting this information when you could be looking at Kenyon Green or Zion Johnson at 31.

Both solid pickups especially if your not going for top tier guy early and looking for a gift late
They blocked for Brady mantra works for me.

After the combine I don't see Zion making it to 31.

Cappa and Karras are solid improvements and at least in my opinion, a signal that the Bengals are going for sprucing up the rush plays and PAP.

I was hoping for Carlton Davis but he is gone. Jones, Gilmore and Hughes are seasoned players to keep an eye on for defense.

I don't think Collins is in the cards because Dallas will save big on cap for is out right release and once Collins hits the market, he will get paid.

I think Bengals will have a big name player to sign. I am thinking Corbett at guard is possible.
