Dehner's way early 2021 projected roster

[BengalChris]

I don't see Andy returning to this coaching staff.

I don't see the Bengals offering big money to a guard. They've never done that before, not even to guys they drafted. They didn't even bother to offer Zietler a contract and the position has been suck ass ever since.

This coaching staff is horrible and I don't believe it matters one bit who the players are, they'll lose a lot of games. They'll drive away the better players and stupify the rest of them.

I disregarded all this when I saw Andy was back... what??

[*pally*]

to answer some questions
1) he assumed a cap of $173 million which will mean a whole lot of veteran free agents will not be getting what they would have gotten in previous years

2) he did not rule out a coaching change just that he looked at things as they currently stand

3) While he listed Andy Dalton as QB2 he gave himself wiggle room other FA QBs such as Trubinksky, Fitzpatrick, Winson, etc

Ok I'll play along. The first thing I think they do is slash payroll with pre-draft cuts. So IMO here's the cuts:

Cuts: B. Hart- 6 million, G. Atkins 10 million, C.Carter 2, R.Bullock 1.5, BJ Finney 1.5 R.Finley .6, A.Bledsoe .7 total = @ 22 million

FA's:

re-signed:

1) K.Huber-P
2) C.Harris-LS
3) C.Lawson-Edge
4) M.Daniels-DT
5) M.Thomas-WR/ ST
6) Q.Spain-LG
7) M.Alexander- Slot CB
8) B.Wilson- S/ST

Outside:

1) Eric Wilson-ILB- Vikings  6'1 230
2) Jermaine Eluemanor- RG Patriots 6'4 335
3) Josh Reynolds- WR Rams 6'3 200
4) Kevin King- CB Packers 6'3 200
5) Romeo Okwara-DE Lions 6'4 265

Draft: PFN mock

1) Penai Sewell- T- 6'6 330 Oregon

My Take at the 53 man with one of LB/CB being the 53 man
