Too old, too expensive for us

If I owned the Bengals I would try to emulate teams that have had success in this league and you don't have to look further than the Ravens and Steelers.

Speaking as someone who has pretty vocally wanted the Bengals to get a good IOL for what feels like his entire life... If you were going to emulate them then I would feel the need to point out that the Ravens haven't had a top-10 paid Guard on their team since 2016 and for Steelers it was 2019, and the guys they did have were both multi-time 1st Team All-Pros at the time.

Because the Steelers and Ravens both know you pay excellent players, but you shouldn't pretend that pretty good players are actually better than they are because they wear your uniform and get into a bidding war with bad teams to overpay them as if they were the best.
