Sweat is not going to cost you 30 million and he's younger, heck go over after him, Milt Williams or Allen or Chase Young and draft a DT or DE in the first and hopefully more Defense with the Trey draft pick. This is not the end of the world if the FO invests in FA towards the DL, which they will have to. Say we get a 2nd for Trey you now have 17 and two seconds to get defense and a OL. Hopefully if Trey is traded they finally sign Tee and Chase. The only kicker i see in this is that we are talking the Bengals FO! Hopefully
Nice post. We can add more players to the Defense in FA with this news. I was afraid we were going to pay all 3 of these guys and
not do anything in FA because of it. We need a couple Guards and now a couple DL and this is a deep Draft for DL as well. Trey for
Jonathan Allen in a trade with Washington and bringing in Josh Sweat would be a fantastic start.

True.

Sure does. If we paid Trey 35 mil per year and he started falling off this year it could of been really bad...
