The Bengals have been paying Trey Hopkins and hoping he'd earn the money ever since he wasn't a disaster in 2018. He's never performed at even an average level in the 8 years he's been here. I doubt the Bengals will cut him because he's still under contract, but do any of us think he'll earn the $6M he's signed for? The FA upgrades are there for the signing at the same or a minimal cost increase. You could even keep Trey Hiil if you're convinced he's the future. Pursuing a free agent center is a no-brainer for me.
