I think that the moves Tee has made and the priorities he has articulated might make it doable, despite the legitimate barriers of putting so much money on three contracts.

Certainly a long shot, but might be doable.   One of the keys will be the Bengals matching his concessions with theirs.   It's a different team with him on the field.

I also think the Bengals need to look at Philadelphia's operating model.  They seem to have found a way to transition from one playoff roster to a new one without financially imploding.   Requires planning and thinking out of the box, and putting more resources into your scouting team.

We have been blessed with a dynamic core.   They need to earn their keep by not letting historical failures to repeat themselves.

Hope you're listening Elizabeth!

The Burrow window is deceptively small
