if the defense is as bad as last year, but the 2 weakest spots on offense are fixed(Guards), I see 10 wins
they legitimately had the worst guard duo in the league last year, and the offense was still top 10. Countless drives would be ruined because Cappa and Volson couldnt block
For 2025, it doesn't though.
Hendrickson is currently under contract for this year.
Plus, he can be tagged for 2026 and even potentially 2027 if Bengals want to do so.
Although until they have Chase's extension sorted, they probably will want to tag Chase instead.
I agree on the approximate wins.
This team, to me, will be around a 7-9 win team as it stands. Maybe around 9-11 with improved guards.
If they do that AND hit on some draft picks, they may be able to get to 12 wins or so.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
