Making moves with Boyd, Mixon, Hopkins, Waynes and not resigning Bates puts us in a situation of affording 4 very solid linemen.
We can replace the slot & RB, with athletes Waynes is gone already, Hopkins is being replaced....
Imagine Joe getting 3 seconds every pass play, imagine not being concerned about goal line, 3rd or 4th and short... we ahve 2 super stars on the outside stretching the defense.... tough biz decisions... I'd do them.
imagine not being able to get the opposing offense off the field because the Bengals spent all the money on offense. 5 out of 8 CBs are free agents and 2 out of 5 safeties. 1 starter and 2 key backups on the DL as well. It has to be a balance. We need the OL not to be awful. An elite one is likely out of the reach financially
Winning makes believers of us all
