That doesn't change the fact that a longer term deal as I suggested with a greater guarantee wouldn't have been a more than competitive offer.
As far as affordability goes, I completely agree with your assesment of Jones, and I think they will release him after June 1st because it saves them quite a bit more money.
As far as being a 1 year WR on a crappy team that "nobody trusts", I would argue that is part of his intrigue. I watched all his games and I didn't see him get a lot of garbage yards. I saw him start pretty darn well and fade as his teammates dropped life flies and his QB play suffered. James Urban is one of the Bengals coaches that I feel could really turn him in to a Pro Bowl talent, especially with AJ Green on the other side of the field.
I don't know...I'm just whining about the lack of apparent interest. I think something could have been done that would have instantly improved this team's offense on all points of the field, but especially the red zone.
So now, I am back to praying that Ced Ogbuehi somehow figures out how to be stronger, have better balance, and be a consistent LT in the NFL with a whopping one start under his belt there. And I guess John Ross in the first sounds pretty good, but they will have to slide back and generate additional picks.
Why did the Browns with 100 million in cap space go after Britt and multi year deal? My guess is Pryor decided he wanted an average of 7 million a year for 4 years with 60% guaranteed and all 32 teams said he'll no
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
