Would you rather: $8-10 mill a year to spend on WR2 or TE1?

Also a common trend is you must caveat every thread with "I understand that Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis are to blame and need to be replaced"

A relatively current trend is "I blame the oline"

Now to answer the question:

I would choose TE1 and it would be a traditional TE that excels at blocking.  

Great response bfine. Also, I'm glad you're no longer restricted! Woohoo!

Interesting that you chose TE1 and preferred it be a traditional TE that excels at blocking.
Here is a list of upcoming 2018 free agents at TE. Any one in particular you would sign that fits your preference?

I view Eifert as much more of a receiving TE than blocking, so I don't know if you were implying re-signing him or instead finding a different TE.
If a TE that is more of a blocking TE with some pass catching ability, I think the Bengals have some decent options already on the roster and those in FA shouldn't command $8-10 mill a year.
Related note: blocking was a big reason I wanted OJ Howard. He was a good, experienced blocker at Alabama and showed potential as a receiving threat. I thought he'd fit very well in Cincinnati.

Btw, my preference would be to have a stud WR2 over a TE1 and have the top TE being a good blocker that can also catch. If that WR is not already on the roster, then I'd use the money to get one. If that player is on the roster and doesn't command a lot of $$, I'd instead invest that $$ into OL. The best long-term WR already on the Bengals I see as a good WR2 would be Ross, but he needs to prove it over the next 1-2 years first.
