I think we can all agree that ideally we'd like for the OL to get upgraded with proven vet FAs.
With that said, the Bengals don't have unlimited cap and don't really ever do restructures.
They have the following non-OL positions with a starter either hitting FA or just flat out needing upgraded:
- TE
- CB
- S
- DT
So what position(s) are you ok with allowing to be addressed with cheaper FAs (under $5 mill) and/or draft picks so that the team can better address OL in the draft?
CB needs to be upper tier draft pick.
Draft a safety and sign Marcus Maye on a 1 year $6M deal to mentor. (frees up $10m that would have gone to Bates)
Re-sign BJ Hill and draft DT.
Draft TE.
Free up an additional $25M cutting Waynes, Hopkins and Boyd.
