Yeah he had a rough start to the year, but he played way better in the back half of last year. I'm not saying that we shouldn't try to get someone like Tretter. It's just not even close to our need for RG or RT.

Spain was very solid for us last year. Better than Hopkins that’s for sure. Thing with Hopkins is, he may be better in 2022 after getting healthy. He was fresh off injury last year and his play declined. Which Hopkins will you get? Your guess is as good as mine, but 2021 Hopkins isn’t going to cut it.

What is the source Collins is visiting? I saw the mystery guy was Reed, not what I would call a major upgrade to our DL

When it comes to run blocking and getting a push up the middle? Yes, he 100% is that bad.
Let me take you back in time... the year is 2016. A Browns Center heading into his age 31 season hits free agency. The Bengals say "Bodine isn't THAT bad" and don't try for Alex Mack, who goes to the Falcons. Matt Ryan has the best year of his career and is MVP, the Falcons are 5th in rushing YPC, they go to the Super Bowl. The Bengals meanwhile have an OL flop, are 23rd in rushing YPC, and Bodine is only on the team for 1 more bad year before being out of the league 1 year after that.
Don't make the EXACT same mistake twice. Alex Mack = JC Tretter.. the situations are similar to a shocking degree. Cap space isn't an issue, so why settle for a subpar player when the solution to your problem is RIGHT there?

We need to spread out all over town and stake out Frisch’s, Wendy’s, and Jeff Ruby’s.

It's at the precinct
RE: Mystery visit? - psychdoctor - 03-17-2022
Do you remember the days that no free agent would sign with the Bengals or they would just use Bengals for leverage and then laugh at the team? Not freaking anymore. The Bengals are a destination team!

What do you think Chase will cost? Honest question. I would expect pretty close to this. Assuming he keeps up at the level he played

35 million a year the way these contracts are going.
Then you're going to have to give Burrow 50 million. The. Higgins...yeah. It's gonna be interesting.

Good news we have Chased locked up through 2025 and Burrow through 2024. It is a huge advantage for us versus teams paying QB's 40 to 50 million a year now

Hey, if we can't complain about the present lets complain about the future, right?
We will never be able to keep both Higgins and Chase. Higgins would be WR1 on a lot of NFL teams.
