That’s not what I said. I said I’m in favor of tag and trade. And I said it’s probably not what the Bengals organization will do.
There are so many ways they could screw this up and I believe that they will.
They could do nothing and let him walk for a comp pick in 2026.
They could franchise tag him again and not spend money on defense.
They could let him walk or trade him, and still not use that $26M/yr on quality defense.
They could take that draft pick they get and draft a bust.
The smart thing to do is tag and trade and use the cap space and extra pick on defense. However, I don’t trust them to do anything right and it is possible that the best route is to keep the known entity which is a really good nfl player. If I knew what they would do with the resources (money and picks) I would know for sure where I stand. I obviously don’t, but if I have to chose a side I would say tag and trade.
