Which I agree I dont expect them to sign an Offensive Guard for 15+ mil. He did say if they look at a offensive lineman it would probably be one of the tackles which would be smart.

The Bengals also weren't expected to sign a huge deal for a NT last year, but they did.
I don't see the Bengals spending $10+ mill for an OT, but if they did, I think these are the only candidates worth it:
- Trent Williams (33 years old)
- Alejandro Villanueva (33 years old)
- Russell Okung (33 years old)

However, the Bengals might steer away of them all because of their age, as the Bengals are likely 2+ years away from contending.

The realistic target in my eyes is Daryl Williams.
He's been really good both against the run and pass for BUF, and plays RT.
He's "only" 29 years old.
I'm not sure of his expected market value, but if he can be had for 3 years, $25-30 mill with $15-20 mill guaranteed, I think he could be a target.
