With the Jets releasing WR Marshall, do we go after him to compliment the WR Corps? If we did pick him up we would have one hell of a threat with AJ, Eifert, Boyd and Marshall.

Do we? I highly doubt it.
Should we? Absolutely.

I voted no only because I think the Bengals will not sign him due to the salary cap.
Who Dey!

Well it couldn't hurt to bring him in.
Will we?
Lol have you been paying attention to this team in the last 30 years? Mike would pucker up at the thought of losing one of those precious 2018 Comp picks.

He was cut so that increases the odds. Plus, he's an aging veteran. I see him as kind of like a TO-type player that I think some teams will stay away from.
I actually could see us at least kicking the tires.

But we only have 15 mil to spend? He'll want at least 6-9 mil a year.

what good is it to have Marshall and AJ if Dalton is getting 2 seconds or less to throw the ball?
Good plan if they also sign mangold , whit and Z.

Whoa Whoa Whoa! Now your talking crazy they wouldn't do that over the course of 10 offseason never mind one! Mike probably had a bit of a stroke reading your post and thinking of all the money it would cost him!

Like LaFell, we'd be getting him on the cheap after a down season. I believe the down year had more to do with bad QB play than Marshall falling off.
He'd automatically be the best #2 we've had since...maybe ever.

If the Bengals sign Whitworth, DreKirk, and Marshall but lose Zeitler and Burkhead (draft a RB high) I would consider this FA offseason a major home run.
But the Pats have big money to spend and are big market so I would look at Marshall going there.

I think Marshall becomes a Raven.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

With potentially A Jones and Dre Gone..
Dennard not much of an issurance policy and WGIII yet to get his feet wet... If we go after a big name FA id prefer it be in the defensive backfield

I voted No. However, if the Bengals don't re-sign LaFell, Marshall could be an option. Of course, if the Bengals aren't willing to pay LaFell I don't see them willing to pay Marshall.
Personally I feel that LaFell proved his worth last year and re-signing him would cross that need of the list.
I hope we address the OL and DE spots so that we aren't looking at another piss poor year this year.

TJ was really solid as our #2.... I wouldn't mind another season with Lafell if we can keep AJ and Eifert on the field also.

Loved Housh, but he wasn't on the level of a Brandon Marshall.

Yeah, that was pretty awful the way TO came here and scored 9 TDs.
Anyways, can we have a do-over where the title and the poll ask the same question?
DO WE - no
SHOULD WE - yes
