Are you saying if we don't resign Hill, West can replace him and be better or at a minimum as good.
If that is the case, we would be crazy to pay Hill 12 or 13 million a year when we can play a rookie drafted in round 3 less than 2 million a year. Are you also saying West is better than McKinley and Jenkins?
I have concerns because we need to get much better on the DL and I am not confident a rookie drafted in round 3 will be an upgrade on our DL. Our DL was horrible in 2024. We need it to become a strength versus a weakness.
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.
