The O-line sticks out to everyone as the reason we lost, we were clearly the better team in all the other aspects as we only lost
by 3 with a bad O-line being completely outmatched. Sounds like cutting Hop is a definite possibility so need to add a Center, that
is 1 new OL, Adeniji sucks, that is 2 new OL, Prince is a backup, that is 3, Carman might not be ready, that could be 4.

Williams and Hopkins are under contract. They need a LG and RT right now which is a minimum of two. Plugging Carman in at RG hoping he will be improved after one season and his back stops bothering him is a mistake. They need a Plan B which ain’t Adeniji. They will need a third via FA or the draft to compete for that position. Out of the starters, Hopkins graded out as the worst. He can be upgraded by releasing him and apply his salary to his replacement.

The Bengals have a 3 year window before Burrow’s 5th year option ends and he signs his second contract. Now is the time they can afford to improve the line to take advantage of the window.
