They aren't servicable, they are BAD. Rolling them out there to start week 1 is a completely irrisponsible. 

Step 1 was to cut the worst starting guard on our roster who was set to make way too much money.

Bengals have been tsoo loyal in t he past (opposite of cheap keeping players who underperform their contracts. Step 2 is to replace Cappa with a better guard in FA. In my opinion step 3 may be draft the future other starting guard in the 2025 draft.

I see Bengals keeping Trey and adding a pass rushing edge with pick #17. The draft option needs are closing. I think they will closed further prior to teh draft.

Needs Now through FA and or draft
2 OG's
Pass rushing Edge/DE
I think we need a more dynamic saftey to replace Stone

A healthy CB room will greatly improve the defense
Slayton will improve the run defense
The 2 2nd year DT's will improve the defense after going through injuries and inexperience in 2025
I see a healthy Wilson helping our defense
I see Pratt being kept and coached up in 2025 or we draft his replacement in round 2 or 3
I see Yoshi continuing to improve and if we get anything out of Burton and Jones it is a plus

The biggie is I see the Bengals finally giving Joe a solid OL for first time since he took the reigns. Give Joe and extra half second to 1 second and defenses will be in dep trouble.
