I would be really happy with this honestly Holic. Cannot believe Will Hernandez has been this bad as a pro that he could be that cheap after the talk that one year leading up to the Draft, crazy. Eluemunor or George Fant sound very likely for us at RT and shouldn't break the bank so we can keep most of our own. Jonathan Jones would help if Apple left and is probably an upgrade even, but you know how I feel, I think Apple will be back. He is our kind of A-Hole lol Also would love to add Fox the DT and Justin Houston who should be ring chasing late in their careers.

We're not tight for cap space yet... but the year after I don't think Mixon will be here. I might end up being completely wrong, but I just don't see the logic in bringing him back. He doesn't really fit this offense very well, he's awful in pass protection and he doesn't have speed, creativity or elusiveness. There's no way to justify keeping him on the roster at 12m, IMO. Even if he's willing to do a new deal at a greatly reduced price, I just still don't think he's a good fit at this point.

What Holic said, Mixon just doesn't fit even with a restructured contract even. All our RB's have to be great pass protectors in the Joe Burrow era and even Mixon leaves a lot to be desired with his poor vision at times and the way he doesn't hit the hole fast in front of him. There were tons of plays left on the field last season where a RB with better vision and more decisiveness would of turned a small gain into a TD.

Cannot believe Will Hernandez has been this bad as a pro that he could be that Yeah, the talk around the Cards is that their not looking to bring him back...but he's only being projected to get 3-4m in free agency if someone wants him as a starter. He's been extremely inconsistent in his career, but he was pretty decent this past season. If he's still out there after the 1st couple of waves, I think he's definitely an option.

Hernandez might be better than Volson, pretty crazy to say as well. Would be a nice competition at the very least which is what we should always have. Volson could also compete at RT with Eluemunor in your scenario. The more competition the better. I don't see Carman moving to RT and playing well after what he has shown on the right side and this is what Pollack said could happen. Couldn't believe it honestly, I think if there is one thing we learned with Carman with his poor play and his decent play as of late is that he is strictly a LT. Who knows, maybe Carman surprises me and finally makes the change and becomes versatile like Volson. Volson's natural position is RT after all and he played every position but Center in college and did it all well. RE: What do you think the Bengals WILL DO this offseason? - Hammerstripes - 03-06-2023 Any scenario that involves Pratt staying is either foolish or unrealistic (unless of course the team decides to keep him over Wilson, which I don't see happening) There is no way we are going to pay $12-$15 million per year for Pratt. I expect minimal outside free agents. I don't think we sign any free agent starters and we do several extensions with our own guys RE: What do you think the Bengals WILL DO this offseason? - bk42 - 03-06-2023 We'll find out soon - assuming they try to resign Hurst, Bell, Apple & Perine. And assuming Bates won't be back. I think if they do this, they won't be players for any of the top free agents with Burrow, Higgins and Wilson extensions hopefully coming soon. But to the extent that don't resign a Pratt or Hurst, I'm hoping we see them make a splash in free agency and then play with ADG at in Pratt's spot and a cheaper or rookie TE in Hurst spot And if they don't draft an OT in rd 1 or 2, I'm hoping they pay some money to a veteran to come in as a backup so that we don't have to see Adeniji starting at RT again RE: What do you think the Bengals WILL DO this offseason? - Nate (formerly eliminate08) - 03-07-2023 (03-06-2023, 05:04 PM)Hammerstripes Wrote: Any scenario that involves Pratt staying is either foolish or unrealistic (unless of course the team decides to keep him over Wilson, which I don't see happening) Yeah, Pratt ain't coming back unless he takes a deal under 10 mil per year. We need a starter at RT, La'el won't be ready until mid season at the earliest. I hope the FO saw that what we did in FA last year in getting proven vets is the way to go. Add Eluemunor or Goerge Fant at RT, this would soften the blow if Carman fails at RT like he did at RG.

RT is where we cannot afford to have a rookie, or like you said, Adeniji.

The franchise tag for a RB is like $10 mill. No way do we pay Mixon close to $13 million a year for the next 2 years. That said, the Bengals like to honor contracts. |
