[CarolinaBengalFanGuy]

Is the first post supposed to be updated with any free agent signings?

What OT or OG at this point would we really consider a solid-or-better upgrade over what the Bengals have?
Maybe Warford, Wagner?
Gabe Jackson I guess, although he's just ok. Not bad though. Same with Trai Turner.
Neither of which I would be excited about. I'd think they could maybe get the OL into the low 20's in terms of NFL rank.
I don't see the Bengals making a move for Trent Williams or Corey Linsley.

Here is actual Bengals FA news:

The #Dolphins have finalized a 3-year deal for #Bengals FB and TE Cethan Carter, source said.

Lawson to Jets?‍♂️

Guess it's not the official start of Bengals free agency without somebody posting this....

For the #Jets and Carl Lawson: 3 years, $45M with $30M guaranteed. Up to $47.4M. Huge deal. https://t.co/JbL2TsViT0

Oday Aboushi is a very under the radar Free Agent and Riley Reiff be a good signing at tackle.

I'm hoping Larry Warford and Reiff or possibly Mitchell Schwartz if they get him medically cleared.

Ouch. Guessing all remaining money is shifted towards WJ3. He prob gonna get an inflated deal. At least he is a good player.

Check back in a few days...

Ugh.

Yep, now I’ll say it, they screwed up. Even getting Hendrickson keeps your rush at best from regressing that doesn’t actually improve it. Then you have the misses on O line, not the Thuney’s but more so like Feiller who just went to the Chargers. This is pretty much worst case right now.

I feel for Geoff Hobson in this scenario. How's he going to convince fans that we're over the cap when we don't sign a single player? Sorcery, that's how.

Lawson being gone hurts. Boys, this team is going to be really bad next year. At minimum, the defense is going to be absolutely putrid. Zero pass rush. They still have a chance to make some improvements at G and hopefully Sewell falls to five but man. This is about as bad as it could go to begin FA.

[Murdock2420]

At this point I hope we don't get anyone.

Honestly, if all the free agents refuse to come here, doesn't Mike have to change, or the league have to force a change?

Hendrickson about the only decent pass rusher replacement for Lawson at this point.
He had less total pressures than Lawson last year but did have 13.5 sacks.

Bengals are really not trying lol. Carl Lawson to the Jets

Let's protect our franchise with Oday Aboushi when we have 40-ish mil in cap.  That'll strike fear into the hearts of AFC North defenders.
