The Bengals' offseason strategy this year could be taught in a clinic. They just made the Super Bowl but knew they needed to overhaul their offensive line. Rather than pay top-of-the-market money to the best offensive lineman they could find (Jacksonville…), they spread their investment in multiple Tier-2 free agents in the first hours of free agency. Guard Alex Cappa and center Ted Karras represented two clear upgrades. They had the patience to wait Dallas out and then recruit La’el Collins to play right tackle without surrendering a draft pick to make it happen. All of a sudden, four-fifths of the Bengals' offensive line is in good shape, giving the team the flexibility to draft any position.
That led to draft picks such as Daxton Hill — a versatile defensive back out of Michigan. Hill lined up primarily in the slot for the Wolverines, but nobody is quite sure where he fits in Cincinnati’s secondary because the team now has that luxury of just adding good players and piecing it together later.
The Bengals with Joe Burrow at quarterback should remain contenders due to this offseason.
Agreed. They did a great job this Offseason right when they needed to. If we stay healthy for the most part there isn't a team I
have above the Cincinnati Bengals this season. I would bet on them to win it all over every other team right now. Buffalo might be
the team for us to watch out for as we haven't played them yet, maybe the Broncos with Russell Wilson and of course the Chargers
but I think we can beat all these teams. Will be close though.
I just don't know how good Burrow is going to be with actual time, a running game and these weapons. Could be record breaking.
On the other side of the ball our Defense could be great as we can already stop the run and get after the passer, but we have guys
like Joseph Ossai and ADG coming back. While adding Dax Hill, CTB and Zachary Carter who we must of really liked at 3-tech.
ST's under Darrin Simmons should also be good and hopefully Lassiter or one of the other guys is that Returner we need.
Love our chances of at the very least making it back to the AFC title game.
