We've kind of handcuffed ourselves to not double dip there even if there is good value late. I also really don't like the idea of going into the draft needing 1 guard let alone 2. We've all seen the runs that happen there and leave us reaching for a player that should be taken much later. 

I still think we get a good DE and a DT. Love the Slaton pick up!

Becton was a bust until last year. He doesn't fit with our system so 10M a season is unreasonable.

Zeitler would've come back. Hell he might have comeback in 21 if we didn't offer him an insultingly low offer. I'd say the most likely reason he's not here is we wrote him off due to age. You may very well be right on Becton as we appeared to write him off. But are the rest of these guards going to sign reasonable deals that we stay out of as well.

Tee racking up those frequent flier mileages!

Yeah, that was LAST weekend.

Probably won't ever fly commercial again!

I don't know if this is Intel or the running joke at this point lol.

Tee's playing must be refueling in air.

Zeitler wasn't ever going to sign a contract to come here

Which is one more good year than any guard currently on this roster has had now isn’t it.

It’s also pure speculation on your part to suggest Zeitler wouldn’t have came here. If the money was similar anyone in their right mind would choose to block for Joe Burrow over Will Levis.

And I thought Nate was slow to get news.

Don’t forget he made $21M last year! 1.235M every football sunday.

Yeah Tee on private jet to Cincy - I read that and posted it last weekend. Turns out he was just heading back to do some donuts, hit the casino and do a little street racing with Chase.

Yeah, that video brings back too many bad Bengals memories!

I also heard Hendrickson is flying back to Cincinnati too but he is on Frontier Airlines sitting in the coach section so Im not sure what this means in regards to his contract talks with the Bengals.

wtf? Guess the exclusive contract we had with Spirit Airlines fell apart?

Zeitler's wife doesn't want to be in Cincy. He wasn't coming back,

Becton doesn't fit in this offense.

We’re currently looking at a Volson/Ford/Kirkland/rookie battle at guard and buddy is talking about “fit.”
