What if Price has a breakout yr....do we attempt to resign or chalk it up to that contract yr thing?

Last eleven 1st round picks. Not a lot of history of greatness for year 5 for these guys.

The Bengals put themselves behind the Lions with the Glenn trade. Less than two weeks later, the Lions watched their starting center sign elsewhere. If anything, blame the Cowboys. They took Vander Esch, who the Lions really wanted. Sadly, the Bengals had no shot at Ragnow after the trade down. Plus, a lot of media members have mentioned that the Bengals also thought very highly of Vander Esch and were a darkhorse team to draft him.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.

I can see him getting a backup C role somewhere else for sure.
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. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.

Man is that an ugly list. Only 1 star player and 1 more with potential to be. At least 4 busts.
Why are we even arguing Sewell/Chase? Feels like whoever we take won't amount to much.

When we drafted Price I thought he might have been drafted a bit high. But my concern was that he might just be a decent starter instead of a Pro Bowl player like you want to get in the First round. I never thought he would be as bad as what we have seen so far.
Me either. I wanted Ragnow, but was kinda impressed with the consolation prize. Price I thought would be better than Bodine, and we got Glenn. That turned out to be a very bad deal for the team.
