2024 Bengals Free Agency/Roster Thread
#9
I do not believe for a second that the FO/staff are gonna give up on Dax Hill, Turner, and Murphy. I expect the first two to be starters next year and Murphy to improve.

Therefore, I do not think we throw big money or a 1st rounder at DE or CB or S.

Now, with Chido a FA and Ivey out, we are gonna need another CB or two somehow. And Scott was bad and Anderson hurt. S depth should be in play.

But I think NT/DT, WR, and RT are the big three at the moment. Then TE & CB. Then S. Though a S could help at corner as well, as Dax can play some slot, but I ain't miving him if it means Scott playing.

1st order of business: bring back Tee & Reader.

2nd order of business: try and sign a difference maker with the $20-$25 mil we have left after that. I would prioritize DT (Wilkins, Jones, Madubuike) but landing them is a longshot. The FA S class is deep, so we could get a bargain, but I seriously doubt we give up on Hill. Ditto spending big on DE having just picked Murphy. Ditto CB with Turner. I'd go TE next (Schultz) but we seem philosophically opposed to spend on TE's (but not RBs). FA OT class is weak and draft class really strong. Which leads me back to Chido & Boyd.

3rd order of business: try to snatch up as many of our cheap FA's as possible: Adomitis, Browning should be easy (ERFA's). Then D. Sample, Irwin, Ford, Scharping, Tupou, T. Williams, Bailey, & Bachie. ADG & Hudson could be pricier, but I really want Hudson back.

4th: draft time. See what holes are left. OT Rd1, then it will depend on how FA went. I prefer Fuaga or Latham to Mims. Don't forget, we COULD take a LT, too. OBJ can play on the right.
