Here's a part of it:
"In the coming weeks, the Bengals will have Kevin Zeitler, Andrew Whitworth and Domata Peko hitting the market. The first two players in particular will be drawing substantial interest, forcing Cincinnati to either open the checkbook or lose two critical pieces of the offensive line. In Zeitler’s case, he was a first-round selection and has become a top-notch guard in the league."
"Letting him walk sends a clear, unmistakable message. The Bengals are not about winning."
In my humble opinion the time is now if our core of good players is going to have any chance of seeing a Lombardi ! We do not have the time to continue "building" thru the draft. We need a couple upper tier FA's, three wouldn't hurt.
The window is going to shut sooner rather than later !
Very true, couldn't agree more. Now or never needs to be the mentality, not meh, it is just FA like it seems they are acting.
I would be going into every FA so excited about the chance to improve my team if it was me. But first you have to have a
solid foundation. If we lose both Whitworth and Zeitler we have regressed. Looks like Zeit is as good as gone so we need to
be looking at Guard and bringing back Whit in FA to not regress and have a chance at improving going into the draft.
Chance Warmack to go along with Whitworth and Wisnewski and we would of improved. Wouldn't cost much more than
bringing back Zeitler either.
