Just WOW! It's the core of our team.
That's just the NFL.
Hendrickson, Reader, and Boyd will all be heading into their age 30 seasons, Awuzie will be heading into his age 29 season, and Mixon will be heading into his age 28 season (which is much higher for running backs).
Contracts don't last long for most players (even a lot of the 5 year deals you hear about are often really 3 year deals) and players primes go by quickly.
It's why the two year window has been talked about by me and some others on here. It's also why it's kind of absurd that the Bengals have $14m in cap space plus $13m dedicated to a player who doesn't want to be here while Carman is a starting OL, Apple is a starting CB, and there's no NFL caliber WRs after the top 3. They could have easily solved all 3 of those problems with that $27m and made the most of this 2 year window.
