Reiff is an interesting watch as is Hopkins. If they were going to release Hopkins based on the history of treating players right I think now he’s staying. That would mean they are going to let him compete with Karras. That’s not a bad thing having Hopkins versatility on the bench. Probably allows them to keep 8 not 9 linemen. Reiff could very well be back on a friendly deal. That’s not bad either. Here’s why. The Bengals may be waiting on Collins or less likely Armstead or maybe Tretter. They draft @#31 an OT. Those discounting that shouldn’t. There’s plenty of tackles who have started as rookies. Doesn’t mean with Reilly he has too. But I think they aren’t shut out yet on adding in FA another OL starter. But I don’t think they feel forced and that’s not a bad thing. We didn’t have a lot of our FA’s last year at this point.
