Signing tee, hurst , Boyd Bates, or any running backs to second contracts
They really tried to fix o line last year but burrow would carve up anyone with the chiefs or eagles o lines.
Sub par o line play cost us one Super Bowl and possibly a second.
There is only so much money.
Chase is not a priority in 2023, they can't extend him. Burrow and Higgins are a priority. Knowing Chase will be priority in 2024, Boyd's 9 million net in cap in 2023 may be needed to sign our QB of the defense Bates, Bell may be cheaper, but easier to replace than Bates.
Tough decisions await the FO, is Boyd worth 12 million as a 3rd receiver. I say no, grab a TE that can be game changing with 1st round pick. Then the TE because the 3rd down target.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
