If they don’t do everything in their power to re-sign Bates it will be inexcusable. The only reason he should leave is if he’s completely against staying here.

Honestly with the cap hits on our players to me the only player I think that gets traded is John Ross.  Now I would love to trade these guys:

1) Carlos Dunlop- 6/7 rd
2) Alex Ericson- 6/7 rd
3) John Ross- 5/6
4) Billy Price-7th

-these are guys that I think we will cut bait on regardless in 2021, as well as AJ Green, but I don't see us trading AJ. Dunlop will be a cap cut IMO. We need to upgrade the offensive line through FA and the draft.

I dunno if I'd worry too much about TE, as he'll basically have a full year to recover from his achilles injury and Sample will still be here. Uzomah was on pace to have a great season based on the yardage he gained the first two games.
I like Austin Ferguson from Wisconsin as a mid-round TE with receiving ability though.

I agree on re-signing WJ3, Lawson, and Wilson.
I'd also re-sign Clark Harris, Huber too for the right price.
I didn't realize this, but the Bengals have Austin Seibert for 3 more years after this, so they might view him as their K for next year. Seibert also punted in college.
The Bengals can use a late round pick or UDFA on a return specialist.


It may be worth getting a FA WR who can come on the cheaper end rather than need to invest a draft pick. Someone I'd love to have brought in who shouldn't cost too much is Josh Reynolds. Taylor is familiar with him, and he's better than Mike Thomas. He already has over 200 yards this season with LAC. He's a good fit for outside WR given his combo of size (6'3", 196 lb), speed (4.52), and skill set. He is faster than Higgins, Boyd, and Tate.

If the Bengals don't get a good FA for OG, I really hope they go OL in Rd 1. My preferences would be:
1) Sewell if available (not likely)
2) Alex Leatherwood - start at OG in 2021 and then move to RT in 2022
3) Wyatt Davis - long-time starter at RG

I really like the idea of an EDGE and DT both on Day 2.
Maybe re-sign Daniels for the right price to rotate with a DT draft pick.
The EDGE can rotate with Hubbard, Lawson, and Kareem.

Is Josh Reynolds due to become a FA already? It seems like just the other day I was hoping we'd draft him.

I agree Edge and DT by day 2 but I'm ok with them going D-line in the first and O-line in the second depending on how the board shakes out. I still think TE makes a lot of sense looking at the position alone but with all our other needs it's probably a luxury. So that then leaves the secondary, O-line and WR depth in the 4th, 5th and 6th and Special Teams in the 7th. But we should really be drafting BPA and not just filling holes.

I'm not even convinced they'll trade Ross but yes they should try and trade all of those. Probably Green and Atkins as well. Anyone not in their plans for next year should be available.
