Osa Odighizuwa 3T Dallas- 4 years 84 million(42 guranteed)
Zach Baun LB Eagles 3 years 48 Million( 32 Guranteed)

Mechi Becton RG Eagles 3 years 36 million(21 Guranteed)

I can't get on board with passing on BJ Hill for Odighizuwa, especially at that price point.

When you compare their stat lines over the past 4 years, they're pretty much the same player. I'd rather stay with a guy whose been part of the team, is a good fit and respected by this team already than to overpay for similar production simply because the guy is younger. The Bengals drafted a pair for the DL last year, they likely still need to draft another and sign another lesser expensive vet to go along with BJ Hill and the younger guys. I think that if the Bengals are aggressive with negotiations, they could likely get BJ Hill for 3yrs/$40-42M.

Baun may be a slight improvement to pair with Wilson, but at $16M/per, that seems a bit high.

I do like your idea of adding Mechi Becton at RG, he seems to have found his place there after flaming out as a high profile tackle prospect. I feel like trading Cappa's savings and investing into Becton would pay off well for the team.
