Sadly I think the Bengals are pretty much locked in on Jonah's option for 2023, unless they could somehow find a taker for it. That would be daylight robbery if they could. Should still draft T early. Very little of Collins' contract is guaranteed and they could move on with little financial penalty.
Bengals have the 6th most cap space in the NFL heading into 2023 as of right now and I wouldn't be surprised if Mixon doesn't get cut next offseason. It would save $7.25m in cap space in 2023 and $12.85m in 2024 which could directly go towards Higgins if they're actually planning on trying to keep both Chase and Higgins to go with Burrow. A top paid RB who doesn't produce like a top RB is pure wasteful luxury.
Jonah has played much better the last 2 games. Not just by grades or numbers but he looks better. I looked at rookie Gs on PFF last week. Volson is pretty much right in the middle, numbers-wise with 7 other guys from this draft that have played at least 50% of max snaps. One other 4th rounder, one 3rd rounder, two 2nd rounders and three 1st rounders.
