I think the more likely scenario is we see some of the internal FAs back and then get up to a few cheaper mid-tier guys to fill in remaining spots, allowing the Bengals much more flexibility in the draft.
A scenario I could see:
- Tag Higgins (WR2 short-term covered)
- Sign Reader to a 1-2 year contract (NT short-term covered)
- Sign a vet RT like Brown, Fant, or Eluemunor ($8 mill or less)
- Re-sign Hudson and Sample to cover short-term TE and draft a TE to round out the TE room
IS it an upgrade if the RT we are getting is cheaper than the one we are letting go?
