1) Hart- but after the draft
2) Geno- but I'm betting its a restructure.
3) Finley- I think we take a chance on an UDFA to be a #3
-In all maybe 6-7 million savings here
Your re-signs I think are spot on but I could see Evans(Lb) back before Perine if Perine asks for too much. Also don't rule out Lawson coming back if $ is right.
Outside FA's
this is where you've totally lost me, the $$ is not there to sign that haul. Out of your FA's realistically speaking I could see us getting:
1) Kevin Zeitler
2) Romeo Okwara-if we can't sign Lawson
the Bengals have said they are looking to make a splash in FA, so here is MY realistic FA's:
1) Kevin Zeitler-RG/LG (Giants)
2) Matt Feiler- RT/RG (Steelers)
3) Keelan Cole-WR (Jags)
4) Troy Hill-CB (Rams)
5) Romeo Okwara/ Carl Lawson-DE
As someone who’s out here in Jax, Keenan cole is hot garbage I’m not giving him any money... and cole does nothing for us also. Troy hill again does nothing for us especially if we lose wjlll. Hill is a replacement for Alexander or Philips if they leave. U bring in hill u still have a massive hole at corner so again that solves nothing. I’m cool with Zietler and fieler but if the bengals wanna actually fricken do something they need to sign gooooood players not middle of the road players like u have listed. Hill and cole do nothing for us but waste money.
In regards to the cuts.... I’d have to agree it’s a long shot to cut all those guys however... they should. That simple. To me the bengals constantly make things more complicated than it is. Cut the players I have listed and go get better ffs. I know I lost u on the FA signings but if we cut the players I have listed it opens up all the money to spend on some GOOD players and not these questionable roles players like we typically do.
I don’t think Sherman is gonna break the bank nor brown. Rueben foster may be had for nothing and Curtis Samuel again isnt gonna kill you. It’s gonna be Zietler Okwara and then u may need to throw some decent dollars at Everett but to me it doesn’t seem that crazy if they can free open some cap space by cutting those I’ve mentioned that have over stayed their welcome whether it be age or production or both cut em get the money and like I said go get better. Don’t make a splash, be aggressive.
P.s if we let Lawson go to free agency it’s over. Not sure the last bidding war we won. Lawson is gonna get paid we can kiss him goodbye.
