Now wait just a minute there. Didn't you hear that Reiff was the 10th highest paid RT, Spain/XSF (the castoffs) have however many combined starts between them and if that's not enough, we used TWO draft picks for fix the OL?!?
Joe Burrow gets his knee completely mangled and the above is the Bengals solution. The FO gets an "F" again this year for the OL.

I think we should look into trade options, but I also think we need to give Mixon the ball more to keep the defense near the line so receivers can get open more and quicker. 20 carries was far too few.
We also need to keep Mixon in the backfield to block more because the line is getting destroyed.
Look at teams with quality backups that we can get without breaking the bank. Teams need depth but might be willing to part ways with a player, especially one in a contract year.
I also think that we need to give our young guys a chance because it can't get much worse.
