In reality the Burrow deal probably signaled the end of guys like Reader, Hubbard, Bates, and Mixon.
It is what it is. Burrow is worth more than them COMBINED.
I actually think we’ve been managing our cap exceptionally with the Burrow contract.
Since the Zac Taylor era, I think the bengals front office has done amazing. About as good as anyone in the league, except maybe a couple franchises.
This off season has been a nightmare. There aren’t any good D lineman or OL left in FA that will make this team better than the 2023 version. We had a ton of cap space, ridiculous amount. If I told you before FA, that with 70M in cap space we wouldn’t be able to sign Jonnah Williams, Reader, Tee wouldn’t be given a long term deal, we cut Mixon to cap space, and didn’t resign Chido…what would you say we spent that $70M on?
We resigned back ups: Cody ford, Irwin, Gaither, Sample.
New 1 year deal to a 3M te. 2 year deal to a DT, 2 year deal to a 7M S.
That’s the off-season in a nutshell. You don’t think the $70M could have been spent better? I mean, at least lock up Tee. FFS, this 2024 team is worse than the 2023 team.
