But LG needs upgraded even if Cappa rebounds. And Hubbard isn't a great pass rusher even at his best. And even with Rankins, we still need DT help.
If we can get Tee, Chase, Trey, Mike G. and the Burrow restructure done quickly, it will help us attract other guys in FA. It will show we are serious about being a contender.
A ring chaser/vet would have us on their list then. Some maybe be cheap (Calais Campbell at DT), mid-range (Zeitler at RG, Tart at DT), or even high end (Smith at RG).
1)restructuring burrows contract only kicks the monetary issues down the road 2) so if we dont restructure Burrows contract to sign tee higgins the "other guys " in the NFL will not be attracted to the Bengals ?..too funny
