Starters:
Tag Higgins ($20.7 mill)
Sign RT Onwenu ($14 mill)
Sign TE Fant ($9 mill)
Re-sign Reader ($10 mill, probably even too generous on that?)
Re-sign LS Adomitis ($1.0-$1.5 mill, which seems to be the typical price for a solid LS)
DJ Turner moves into starting Outside CB, Charlie Jones moves into starting Slot WR.
All starting positions now covered.
Backups:
Re-sign Trenton Irwin
Re-sign two of ADG/Bailey/Bachie
Re-sign Sample
Re-sign Ford
Re-sign Browning
This would fit just around the $5 mill remaining going into the draft and leave about 5-7 backup positions for the draft to fill.
I saw nothing from Charlie jones or turner that said they are ready at all for either one of those roles.
Bring back Awuzie
Bring back boyd.
Neither breaks the bank. Let tee walk. Replace him in the second. The bengals are almost automatic doing that. This is easy imo let’s not over think it.
