As we all know even if Burrow is the real deal, the next great QB, he will still need a better team around him. So they better be willing to do something in FA on both sides of the ball. Otherwise they are just buying more time to fill the seats via the Burrow signing and hoping for the best via the rest of the draft.
The problem I see with the Bengals and FA is it probably will cost them more coming off a 2-14 season to sign quality FAs as opposed to a team that is more of a contender. The Bengals are not actually known as a destination team for free agents for many reasons given their history and recent track record. Let's hope things change come March. I'm not expecting the Bengals to land any top free agent linebackers or offensive linemen but even some mid range FA players that are better than what the Bengals have would be a good start.
Yes, have to ensure the Burrow pick by at least getting some mid tier FA's at OL and a weapon or two.
Linebacker must be addressed as well either by FA or the Draft as this is the clear hole on Defense. Vigil is not the answer even if
he is better than some say. Pratt should really improve in his second year but Evans hasn't been very good.
