But that just means the Bengals will go with a less-skilled player in order to get someone within the budget they want to spend.

One thing going for us right now is we will have no highly paid guys on the line outside Hopkins with Glenn's coming off the books. We have a window while Jonah is on his rookie deal to pay one high priced linemen as the Bengals have historically looked at total money invested in each unit as how they determine the pay. With only Hopkins getting paid, I think a high priced Guard and even a mid tier tackle could be doable pending if they go big at CB. You could essentially offer anyone a 3 year deal that is 10+ as our one "tackle" contract on the line (Guard or tackle) and then it would be up when Jonah needs extended.
