The 2023 off-season - what do you want to see?

It'll be sad to see Bates go. There's no way we can afford him.

Dax has had a rough year. He had a lot of penalties and so forth. But he got a lot of valuable playing time and I think he learned a lot.
I think Dax has more potential as far as man to man coverage of tight ends and so forth compared to Bates.
I think Dax will learn a ton this offseason and have a solid year next year as the starter.

I think the Bengals should re-sign Pratt and Vonn Bell for sure.
I think Hurst, Sample and Apple should be affordable, but I don't mind losing Apple if he wants too much money.
Perine should definitely be re-signed and is a better fit for what we do than Mixon. Don't see Mixon getting released as he's such a big part of our locker room and I don't see management cutting him--but I don't see him coming back the following year.

Definitely need to look for depth along the oline, corner, and dline. These are my top priorities, but depth everywhere is always good--and you absolutely cannot reach in the draft (BPA all the way).

Definitely lock up Burrow, Wilson, and Higgins (in that order of priority).
