I think the Bengals are in a Super Bowl Window.
If they stay in this somewhat "safe", Draft and develop with not so BOLD off seasons mindset, how long do you see the "Window" staying open ?
It may stay open longer this way while never getting it done with a Super Bowl Win like the Rams did.
Not saying 2024 has to be the Year to go all out BOLD but they may have to at some point before the Window closes.
As long as Burrow & Chase & Hendrickson are here, the window is open. I think Reader & Higgins are foundational pieces, too. OBJ as well.
Some of the other higher priced vets will get rotated out, some extended (Jonah, Boyd, Chido, Mixon, Hilton, BJ Hill, Hubbard, Cappa, Karras, Wilson, Pratt.).
The only young guys who are established as core pieces are Battle & CTB. Volson is close. Next year will go a long way on Dax, Turner, Murphy, C. Brown, Iosivas, C. Jones, and Ivey/Anderson.
