An old bull and a young bull were standing on a hilltop over looking a heard of cattle

The young bull said to the old bull "Hey let's run down there and have relations with one of those cows"

The old bull said "No. Let's walk down and have relations with all of them"

The Bengals are signing OT Riley Reiff, source said. He’s agreed to terms.

Some key names aside from Golladay:
- TY Hilton
- Golden Tate
- Sammy Watkins
- JuJu Smith-Schuster (although I don't see this one happening given everything that happened while he was a Steeler)
- Josh Reynolds
- Chris Conley
- Willie Snead

Hilton and Tate are both over 30 and have been declining for a couple of years now.

Watkins can't stay healthy, and even in a KC offense that threw for 4,700 yards in 2019, he still only managed 673 yards and 3 TD's in 14 games played.

JuJu isn't that good and he's a douche nozzle.  I'd legitimately rather have John Ross than him just based on principle.

Renyolds, Conley and Snead are all pretty much bums.

I don't see a single name you can build off of.  But that's ok even if we don't get Golladay.  I'd just look at filling the 3rd WR spot with our 1st or 2nd pick.  They'll be younger, they'll be cheaper, and they'll be somebody who we can build around Joe.

Just my opinion...

They just need a WR3, someone who can get 600+ yards. Any of the guys listed can do that. Regardless, getting a WR in FA helps allow the Bengals to instead take a WR in middle rounds and develop for a year (or two) vs having to get one in Rd 1 or 2.
