Quinton Spain is visiting Cincy this week; likely to sign

This sounds like something from a fantasy novel (lol), but I agree with it.
Personally, I would roll with Williams-Spain-Hopkins-XSF-Hart for the rest of the year and then look to maybe replace just one of them in the offseason, but I could see the team still wanting to roll with Jordan since they've had him as the starter at LG for nearly 1.5 seasons. 
If you replace 2-3, you could lack that synergy and the OL will look bad again.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Sorry for Party Rocking!
