Will the Bengals turn it around next year.
Young players might get better, Peko may be replaced with Biillings, etc.
There's a lot of factors to keep in mind. Assume we extend Rex, Zeit, and Dre.
I honestly don't know, right now there are holes across the board which makes me think it'll take more than a good draft next year to fix.
I've been comfortable with the no big splashes in FA approach but think there may be a case for it this year.
OL , DL, LB all need serious attention in that they need more than one player in my opinion to get back to playoff calibre. You then have specific positions which need to be addressed K, WR2, CB if Dre goes.
Its quite a big shopping list and that's before you even talk about the position coaches.
If Marv stays as per your OP then it will likely still be a predominantly conservative approach to building the roster...and i think that there are too many holes to be solved - so maybe 6-8 wins , no playoffs
