Let’s say “experienced” instead because I don’t want a repeat of the early 2000s where Marvin brought in washed up former stars like Sam Adams. That guy is probably visible from the James Webb telescope by now.
Based on his glowing comments about Joe Burrow I believe Rob Gronkowski might come to Cincinnati on a sweet team friendly deal. A star player like Gronk tends to attract other star players too. Gronk is north of 30 but not too far north. Guys like Brandon Scherff, Morgan Moses, and Terron Armistead aren’t going to win a ring with the Commies, Props, or Aints so I predict their agents are already on the phone with Mike Brown and Duke Tobin.
One player not mentioned is Jason Kelce. He's the best center available but gets devalued due to age. He wouldn't likely require a long-term commitment and is as bona-fide a locker room presence as any player in the league. Would you rather spend the final years of your career with Jalen Hurts, who seems to have serious issues reading a defense, or Joe Burrow and his loaded offense fresh off of a SB appearance in the town where you played college football?
