We already signed a year ago an olineman with injury problems in Trent Brown and he ended up lasting, I think, 3 games before he was out for the season. As someone said in the past, the number one ability is availability.

I am not saying all 3 of our guys do not deserve to paid extremely well, but to do that we sure can't pay extra 3 or 4 million a year to a good OG.

You are spot on. Maybe Bengals kicked the tires on them both and learned their ask was not in our ball park.

I bet Trey comes back and either plays out this year, or re-signs for less than what bengals originally offered.

I disagree on what you said about having a few elite players on the team that are viewed as elite having a toxic or negative effect on the team as a whole.

The best thing the Bengals have going for them is they are very much a team (almost family-like). The culture is good.

Within a good team culture everyone is celebrating everyone else's success and nobody wants to see others fail.

I thought the top players on the Bengals handled the failure as best as they could last year. Burrow and Chase for example could have blamed the defense in post game interviews--but they would always say stuff like, 'yeah, but we could have closed the game out earlier (pointing to a late drive they failed on)'. (not a word for word quote but that's the type of thing they would say).

I agree that more humility needs to be used in todays discussions. There is too much name calling and strawman arguments going around that furthers the divide. It takes a concerted effort by all parties to be civil and talk things out rationally. Things get too emotionally charged. I remember in school we had classes on forming arguments and arguing one side or another and I didn't like it. You were taught not to concede and discuss openly. You were taught to butt heads. It's part of the culture and the media reinforces it.

"BREAKING: The Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to trade star Trey Hendrickson to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a 2025 3rd round pick. The reigning sack leader heads to Green Bay where he’s expecting to sign a long term deal. (per@AdamSchefter"

But, it appears to be some random, made-up, fake-news post. As one person pointed out, Adam Schefter apparently has no such information on his feed. ... And it was posted 8 hours ago

Career his Pass Block rating (PFF) is constantly right around 70 and last year 75.8. And this was with the roller coaster Caleb Williams rookie campaign back there and the prior three years the Justin Fields (Zero pocket awareness or presence) show. Run blocking he also hovers close to 70 and last year hit 74.3. Drafted in 2021 so has not hit his ceiling yet and the only real rap is misses games here and there due to injuries. The REAL question is will the Bengals actually seal the seal. Logically they should to have a younger building block back there and then possibly sign Big Z also as a stopgap while a draft pick is coached up.
