I think we can find a serviceable safety to replace his production + hope our recent draft picks continue to hit.
I don't really have hopes for Wilson or Anderson.
Wilson's had his chances here and hasn't been able to earn playing time.
I have a hard time depending on a 5th rounder (Anderson) unless/until I've seen him play a good amount.
With that said, I do think Michael Thomas might be ok?
There are some younger guys who have had some proven production like Taylor Rapp, Juan Thornhill, and Julian Love.
Bengals might be able to nab one of them.
I dunno if any of the available guys or even a draft pick would give as much confidence as Bates or Bell though, but that's what we'll have to deal with.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
