I'm intrigued...
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!

Pretty crazy, didn't know that as Miller has been around a bit.
There is a reason they cut Miller though that we don't know about and it isn't like he played good last season.

Andy Dalton and AJ Green to the Patriots
Joe Thurney and a (2021?) 2nd round pick to the Bengals
Love this thought honestly. Hope this happens even if I hope AJ resurrects his career. Still a big IF.
Problem is the Patriots don't have a 2nd round pick this year.

I think you can stop saying it
The Patriots dealt veteran safety Duron Harmon to the Detroit Lions for a swap of late-round draft picks, according to a report from NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport. Moving Harmon frees up $4.25 million in cap room for New England, upping their total to $7.14 million, according to cap expert Miguel Benzan.

I agree, I don't think the Bengals would release their "starting" RG unless there was already something finalized somewhere else. I know this is wishful thinking like most folks on here; but, I'm hoping it's Dalton for Thuney and we may actually have to give NE something else. LoL

I think this is the case. Last year was a ride it out year. It sukked going through it but the end result was pretty damn good. We taught the Dolphins a thing or two about what tanking looks like, didn't we?

You make no sense...Clearing cap is a clear signal that they possibly have something in the works....Also, if they trade Thuney to us that clears up over 14M, which is probably enough to cover Dalton on a restructured deal.

Agreed, don't know what Fred is getting at with that post?

Spotrac has them at $12.5m in cap space right now, not $7m
Thurney: $14.7m
Dalton: $17.7m
That leaves them with ~$9.5m in cap space.
AJ: $17.8m
Difference: $8.3m
They could cut Burkhead ($3m cleared), Sanu ($6.5m cleared) without losing really any production from 2019 and end up with $1.2m in cap space after taking on Dalton and AJ.

No. But I also don't reckon he will be the starter. Gotta have somebody on the bench.

They had to overpay to make sure they got Trae Waynes so they could then trade Kirkpatrick to the Raiders for Gabe Jackson.?

Freeing up dough and them recognizing that we just aren't good enough at RG is a great thing to see.
I would be more concerned if they were fine with Miller's play, he isn't getting any better, Jordan and Price might as they are young.
By far; which guard on our team right now, is PROVEN to be a better player?
I never said he was great last year, but he was by far our best guard and it cannot be argued either, whether it's with counting stats or advanced metrics.
Also not saying I don't agree with this move or anything; just surprised this would happen.

That's what makes the notion that's been floated out there that something is brewing all the more feasible.

A lot of good things have been happening the last day and a half.
This move is concerning if it isn't paired with another move, but it's AMAZING if it is an indication that we signed or traded for a legitimate starting guard.
I am inclined to believe the latter, as you don't often cut a player without replacing them, especially at an already thin position.
So now the speculation becomes: who did we make a deal with?
The Bears are trading for Nick Foles, so it looks like the Patriots are the final place that we can realistically expect Dalton to go. Could you imagine if the Bengals and Patriots worked out some kind of exchange of Dalton and Thuney?
Both are on one year deals. Both make about the same amount of money in 2020. Both play positions of dire need for the other team...
It probably won't happen because...you know...We're the Bengals. But just the thought of the possibility is brightening my Wednesday afternoon.

True, but this means we will make at least one more move and for a better Guard which is good news.
