Essentially they are keeping flexibility to get a deal done, Bengals may want to actually increase his year 1 cap hit via salary as a "guarantee" without having to actually do a lot of guaranteed money to protect them on the back end. Once they can no longer deal with Bates I think another move or two may get done to leverage cap space available this year.
Great post. Truly believe this is the way it goes and if there was one place on the roster that was a question after what we
did in the Offseason it was a pass rushing 3-tech. Yeah, we extended BJ Hill but he isn't quite as good of a pass rusher as
Ogunjobi is when healthy, but BJ is a better run stopper. Zach Carter is a rookie and played End in college most of the time.
Bringing back Ogunjobi and adding a couple depth pieces at a couple other positions would make this the best Offseason I
can remember as a Bengal fan solidifying our team as Top Dog in the NFL. The Defense should be way better and we all know
the Offense should be even more so if the OL stays healthy. Have no idea how good Burrow and our Offense as a whole can
be, record breaking like what he did in his final year at LSU and I am not even kidding. We will see, loving what I am seeing
and hearing.
