If we see a status quo Bengals off-season, it'll be obvious that the FO is just being lazy and relying 100% on Burrow to drive ticket sales. A highly motivated NFL front office could fix many of our problems in just a few months. We could easily clear up as much as $100 million in cap space by trimming some fat.
If this FO has ever been serious about winning a championship...if it's their #1 priority, then now is the time to be aggressive and completely retool this roster. It could very easily be done. Instead, I worry that we'll be keeping some of this dead weight around, or not spending to the cap. Being fully passive in FA, etc.
It is a very real fear. We've, over the last decade + watched two pretty good QB's go down the drain because MB won't do what it takes to build a winner.
My biggest fear is we're going to go thru another cookie cutter MB offseason. Retain 95% of the current roster. Get a B- free agent and a C+. Trade nobody for picks. Rely 100% on the 7 picks we have. Stay the course !
And we'll slowly watch QB #3 erode like the others.
