All while Eliott has been holding out for a huge contract, the Cowboys have signed one of their LBs to a long term deal, and now just gave La'el Collins a 5 year extension. The Collins deal means that their already dominate OL are all under contract through the 2023 season, with Collins and LG Zach Martin both locked up through 2024.

Perhaps it's time for the Bengals front office to focus more on the fundamental building blocks of a team, like OL and LBs? Most of the time, the team that blocks and tackles better is going to win the game.
I would agree. Mike’s model has brought zero Playoff wins, zero Championships, and a .41 winning percentage. Jerry’s model won 4 titles and a boat load of Playoff wine, albeit most of which happened in the 90’s. That said, a dominant o line is generally a solid predictor of Playoff success. The Bengals line is terrible, as is their chances of making the Playoffs this year.
