Whats the minimum you will be satisfied with in FA

Why are some of you willing to settle for a less than elite offensive line?  That’s nonsensical.

In free agency I highly suggest the Bengals open the wallet on offense as they did last year on defense.  Bring in the top free agent right guard and right tackle at minimum…

…and sign Rob Gronkowski.  He’s a great blocker when he’s not catching passes.

I think that answer lies in the cost it will be to actually make an elite OL, and knowing that to accomplish that could require allowing some decline in the defense since there's only so much cap space.

We all WANT an elite OL, but we're trying to be realistic in what the Bengals could do without sacrificing too much on defense, as well as knowing they haven't gone that big on offense in FA during Taylor's tenure. Biggest FA signing on offense was Reiff, which was just $7.5 mill.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Sorry for Party Rocking!
