However part of me feels like this is a Bates, Mixon situation. Bengals are typically very good at finding WR talent in the draft... do you save money and allocate it elsewhere? It's an option not many have brought up.
Getting a 1st rounder and maybe a 3rd could help keep the team cap friendly and young.
this is basically how I feel. The pragmatic part of me thinks trade and draft a replacement and have more money to spend on the Oline. I just can't see re-signing Joe, Chase and Tee while having a decent Oline and a decent defense.
That would be so much money that we could forget about Trey or DJ being able to fit in the budget.
That being said if we hit several grand slams in the draft in the next 2 years on defense and the Oline keeping all 3 offensive superstars would be possible while playing good defense and protecting Joe Burrow.
