Why sign a Center for $3-4 million a year when you can rely on a rookie making $600k? There is a dropoff in play, but a cost savings.
This is happening around the league and play is definitely worse overall this year.
While we do look mediocre, a lot of teams do. There is no dominant team.
Well if that's the case, the Bengals better not re-sign Bodine and go with a rookie. You just made the argument to move on from Bodine one way or another

Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
