If the Bengals want to protect Burrow and win it all, they need to replace more than 1 or 2 guys on that line. Even if it comes with letting Mixon, Boyd and Uzomah go that line needs major changes.
Think about this scenerio. Aaron Donald is lined up somewhere along your O-line and is going to go 1 on 1 against one of them. Burrow needs to have some time to make a throw. Which one of the O-lineman on this team do you think could give Burrow at least a little time to make his throw if Donald lined up against them? Personally, I think Carman would be the one. He is raw but he did well in not allowing Burrow to get sacked this year. If I can only replace 3 of the O-line spots I would keep Carman at RG and replace C, LG and RT.
Aaron Donald is gone. No need to worry about him anymore, he is retiring. So is Whitworth. Miller isn't far behind them. LA can't sustain their success with the team they built. Most of their players are on their way or close to on their way out the door, including Stafford, and they don't have a 1st round pick until 2024.
