Folks in this thread are bringing up Tunsil. Dude costs $22 Mil a year and would cost us a 1st rounder at the absolute minimum. Let's not create a problem that's not there.
If a team traded for him, it'd actually be a little over $18m/yr (and at least a 1st as you said). The Texans would still have to pay the signing bonus and restructure bonus. Still your point stands. Tunsil is not worth that, and certainly not just 2 years of Tunsil.
For $18m/yr is almost the same cost as signing two quality IOL (you might need to spend like $2-3m/yr more). Plus then you'd still keep your 1st round pick to spend on a RT. That seems to be a much better use of resources considering the Bengals aren't in need of just 1 OL, but 4.
