Anyway, my theory. It’s simple.
-Mixon, Bates, Hurst, Boyd….cut or traded (if possible).
-Burrow, Chase, Higgins get extensions
Bengals draft a TE, a RB and a slot receiver and have them on rookie contracts the next few years
We win SuperBowls
I clearly stated twice that the title was click bait, but you be you.
The only TE on the roster is Asiasi and rookie TEs usually take a year or two to be ready. Mayer is probably plug-n-play ready.
We have no WR3 to take Boyd's place, counting on us finding a rookie to be as productive is very risky. See John Ross and several others in every draft.
TE would seem necessary, more speed in the backfield and in the receiving core would be helpful, CB depth could be addressed.
Oline may be the highest priority if LC isnt going to be ready.
We could also be looking ahead for Trey and DJ replacements.
