The rams, while bolstering their team with vets, also had younger guys on the team as well, so that point stands.  

The bengals had a hole at safety and brought in two guys this offseason.  RT addressed with a vet and 1st round pick.  DT saw us bring in 3 new additions.

Where would a splash trade make sense?  What one position would put us over the top.  I don’t disagree that we need to act with a sense of urgency,  but I feel like the bengals are doing a good job of addressing needs and hole maintaining flexibility (to do with what they want).

Perfect scenario:


The Broncos are in cap hell. They are going to be terrible this year. The Bengals are weak at corner and need to elevate the position.

Patrick Surtain is a really good cornerback on a bad team. He's on his rookie contract with a fifth year option next year. He's due 7 million this year and 19 million next year IF you want to pick up the option.

The Bengals should absolutely be trying to pull off a move like this. I'd offer a 3rd and 5th or possibly a 2nd. He'd instantly elevate this defense.


I wouldn't even call that "going all in". It's just making a move to enhance your team right now.
