Just throwing it out there, but, would taking a chance at signing Osemele after the season make sense? As long as his rehab looks positive and a new contract is incentive-based it might add some nice depth, if not a possible starter. Bengals need OL.

8 years and only 2 with 16 games played. Not a good risk for a guy who'll be 31.
I'd rather throw a big pile of money at Anthony Costanzo and Brandon Scherff while retaining Trey Hopkins.
LT: Anthony Costanzo
LG: Jonah Williams
C: Trey Hopkins
RG: Brandon Scherff
RT: 2020 2nd Round Pick
Then you just need to trade down from the 2nd Overall pick and use that King's Ransom to trade up with multiple picks to get the best 3 LBs you possibly can.
Then you're just a competent coaching staff away from competing again.

I say sign him... this year already over. at least start preparing for next year. i mean isnt that what ur doing when u trade anyone for picks. Osemele on our offensive line would be a major boost for next year. Jonah at tackle with osemele, gotta re sign hopkins, then draft another tackle early and cross your fingers with price. The line if handled properly could be pretty good going into next year but i have little hope. but some of the comments in here on this one are ridiculous. We should def sign this guy have him get healthy and be ready for next year. He right now probably even with a torn labrum far and away better than any olineman we have other than hopkins excluded. Start preparing for next year cuz this year was over after the second round of the draft.
