That's a real nice turnaround for the OL.

Really hope they don't go into the season expecting Carman to start, but I feel pretty good about the OL now.

Bengals were 27th in rushing ypa. This just helped the run game TREMENDOUSLY

Taylor and Callahan about to open that playbook the **** up!

Now we have 4/5ths of a line. I would still like to sign another G or C but Burrow should get hit much less than last season. 3rd and 1 will no longer be our kryptonite. Now we should be favorites to win division.

If we can consistently convert 3rd and 4th and shorts we would have won the Super Bowl, let’s see it happen.

This is like a dream offseason so far, props to the Bengals front office.

I’d like to see the details but the offensive line is nearly set (still not sure about LG). If we can convince Tretter to come and kick Karras to LG that would be PERFECT.

Now sign another CB so we can go pure BPA in the draft.

Hell yeah!!!

Regardless of how tough the division is, this is a 12-5 team at the bare minimum, IMO.

I imagine the Collins presser is going to be entertaining to say the lease. A lot of people were on edge waiting on this signing

No doubt, I feel good about the line except Carman, I have a feeling since it is a Mike Brown pick Carman will stick around way longer than he should.

How are they gonna cut a free agent?

Title says signed. I see he has agreed to sign, I want this too, but until he inks a contract, I am hopeful, but not sold it is a done deal.

Hopefully I just missed it.

Shank him with a knife in the alley

I know Deshaun Watson going to the Browns is worrisome for a lot of people, but IMO Browns fans should be TERRIFIED of a Joe Burrow with time to throw.

Absolutely!  Got lucky Collins hit the market late, but well played. Like to see them finish it off with an average corner and Spain or worse IOL.

You couldn't have said it better: "dream offseason so far."

Anyone know if Jonahs 5th year option has been picked up yet? With the lengths of the 3 free agent contracts, I could see drafting a mid round tackle to take over in lieu of an extension for him.

I think they will move back in the draft so they can get another pic like a wide receiver later but I wouldn't mind them moving up this year and grab that kid from Boston. Zion Johnson

Carman and Smith will be options 1a and 1b. Pollack feels that Carman is more comfortable on the left side and is "happy with the choices he's made recently".
