Thuney signed for $16m/yr to be the highest paid G.
Linsley signed for $12.5m/yr to be the highest paid C at the time.

James Daniels, G: 5yr/$50m

Austin Corbett, G: 4yr/$33.5m

Bradley Bozeman, C: 4yr/$40m

Then use the 31st pick in the 2022 NFL Draft to draft a RT: 4yr/$11.3m (in 2021)

....even if you want to pretend that contract cap hits are equally spread year-by-year (they're not), that's just roughly $31.2m... out of $72.6m, leaving the Bengals $41.4m to fill the rest of their roster. Can we finally stop this nonsense?

I would love those pickups, but we have a shit ton of guys to sign, Ive done the math and it wont be that easy, especially if we re-sign Bates.  You will see and I am afraid you will be underwhelmed.  Not arguing just looking at numbers.
