Dang Jim, beat me to it.

He's going to be the best player on their roster this season.

Glad to see the Bengals trade someone who was on the bubble, as he was likely fighting for a spot with Evans and Evans has looked better.
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. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Sorry for Party Rocking!

My only issue is a 7th round pick from the Pats is just like a FA almost as the pick likely is #-28-32 in round 7. Of course the Pats will also make him a star. I just hate helping NE get better for no cost really.

I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

If it was a conditional 7th, that could go up, tied to playing time then it makes sense. But it's not and you are right.

Meh let's them snag a guy that might go somewhere else as an UDFA.

Paul Dehner Jr. mentioned that this trade would allow the Bengals a selection in the 7th round since they traded away a conditional 7th for Chris Smith.
Perhaps this is also an indication that Chris Smith makes the roster, therefore sending away the Bengals 7th rounder to JAX.

Smith HAS to make the roster at this point imo.  The guy has looked good in preseason thus far.

Why wouldnt the Pats wait until he was cut? They could have picked him up off the trash heap.

If he made the roster, then they could have made the trade. Doesnt make much sense...

If you want a guy and the price is right, you might as well secure him when you can.

How many 7th round picks make our roster? That is my point.

..and my point is NE has no magical formula to make players better. They probably fail in FA more than most. To their credit; they just keep trying,
