Hendrickson has requested a trade

That is 4 offensive linemen that have won Super Bowls protecting Brady and Mahomes  who are now protecting Burrow.  Everyone of them have been an upgrade in talent to the guys they replaced.  You may not like the fact the Bengals havent spent early round picks on offensive linemen but what they have done instead is spent money on proven quality free agents at those positions.  This claim they have refused to fix the offensive line is ridiculous and completely untrue given what the Bengals have invested in it the last 3 years. 

I'm not saying they're not solid players, but this has been vastly overstated time and time again as if it's some kind of great ability and credibility builder.

Karras was a backup for both of the SB years and played 0 offensive snaps in both SBs and only 4 offensive snaps total in both years playoff runs.
Cappa got hurt early in the Wild Card round of his SB year and was on IR for the rest of the playoffs.

They have played a grand total of 0 combined offensive snaps in SBs. Jimmy G played as many offensive snaps in his two SB wins with Brady as they did.

We are going into 2024 right now with Volson as a terrible pass blocker and Trent Brown as about as reliable of a starter as Bob Sanders or Tyler Eifert. 

So yes, if they are both starters in 2024 because we used our 1st round pick for the second year in a row on a backup DE, then we had neglected the OL.

As a side note: Ted Karras is heading into his age 31 season and he'll be a FA.
