I strongly disagree. Geno stunk in 2021 and cost up a lot of money. Green stunk in 2021 and cost us 18 million we could used on 2 high caliber starting guards. Hilton grades out much better than Alexander. I look at Waynes as the Jackson replacement (not FA, but did not play a snap). Thhe Dallas CB is better than Phillips. The Cleveland DT is better than Geno and we get Reader back.
Reiff is better than Hart.
I hope they trade for Ertz, that would make my off season with a great draft.
i also hope they trade/Restructure/cut Gio (in that order) to get more cap space to use on Ertz or true starting guard.
To me, not a wash, but we still have a long way to go to compete in the AFCN.
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.
