Cincinnati is THE Destination to Win a Ring

The Bengals -- even with a shitshow offensive line -- nearly won the Super Bowl against the most loaded and stacked team on Planet Earth.  Joe Burrow, given more protection, will be the quarterback face of the NFL for the next fifteen years; I'm convinced Tom Brady retired because he knows he can't hang with Joe. The Bengals feature a suffocating shutdown defense, a generational kicker in Evan McPherson, and skill players who are among the best in the league.

Veterans will beg to come here.  They will come here and take cuts in salary just to play with Joe Burrow and win a ring.  We haven't been here before; not in the modern free agency era anyway.  This is a new thing for the Bengals and now it's time to embrace the winning culture.  

Can you imagine a two tight end set with CJ Uzomah and Rob Gronkowski?  What about Brandon Scherff lining up at right guard?  

There is a lot of truth to your post. Players lose to states like Texas and Florida and maybe a few others as those 2 pay no state tax, but Ohio is reasonable. Players win big if they play in California, New York and Illinois and move to play in Cincinnati. These big cities not only have huge state taxes, but also huge city taxes.

Joey B. and ZT have changed the culture in Cincinnati, as good as Palmer was pre injury, he was not a likable National hero, he was smug. Joey B. has the demeanor and personality to be a face of the nation and is an outstanding QB.
