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.

No doubt. Great post, now is the time to solidify the the OL and we can afford it unlike some here are acting.

We don't need All Pros at every position on the OL but we need to upgrade every position which isn't hard to do with the Free
Agents that will be available, our cap space situation and the fact Burrow raises eyebrows for every FA OL out there. I am higher
on Carman than most though and think he could man the LG position better than RG where he seems uncomfortable.

New Center, RG and RT is what we need and there are tons of options to get it done. No excuses.

Is this true? If so I am for bringing Spain back as he has an excuse for his poor play in the Playoffs and SB it makes sense.

Still, if Spain was playing hurt they should of put Carman in if he was healthier.
