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.
Tyler Conklin high-points contested jump-ball for 31-yard catch
First of all best wishes and thank you for all you did CJ hate to see U gone A .
Now business lol, would be very happy with Conklin and not sure Gronk will come now anyway with Brady coming back.
Yet either way with the Bengals now having an improved rushing attack per signings to go along with their 3 elite WR's. Believe any TE who can run a route and catch a ball will do well here imo.
Have not watched much of Conklin but he looks sick in these clips and big enough to run block too.
Am stoked with what the Bengals are doing so far and just going to make some popcorn and enjoy the show.

yet it's only the thirsty that hunger to roam. Roam the Jungle !

His chances to win a ring in NY right now instead of Cincy are basically zero.
Imagine being on your death bed and kissing a $100 bill instead of a Supebowl ring, that's CJ Uzo. You grow up wanting to win a ring, imagine chasing every last dollar. Now he's 29 so it makes sense from his perspective, but in NY with basically 10 teams or more that can dominate them in the AFC alone, he threw his chance of ring in the toilet.
That 6 million can buy another house and maybe a boat. He can watch us from Burrow's bigger boat/bigger party because only superbowl winners are allowed on that one.
It's good to learn the lesson early, to detach money from your happiness.
I will be watching the post-game speeches for NJ so I can see "This is our standard" after they win 1 game and then lose the next 5, and the "IT IS US!!! WE ARE THE #1 PICK IN THE DRAFT!"
NFL is a business. They don’t play for fun. They train and sacrifice to perfect their game and make a living for themselves and their family. The fact that he went somewhere other than staying here means nothing negative about him as a person. He’ll be the same guy next year, just wearing green (and cashing green). #dadjoke I had to
Thanks to CJ for the Super Bowl run and badass, inspirational talks to the boys we got glimpses of on social media during the season. CJ contributed to this being a fun team to watch.

We only need to find a good one that wants to chase a ring for one year and then we can draft my friend Michael Mayer out of Notre Dame and bring him back home to Greater Cincinnati!
We'll need to trade up from 32 to get him, but he's worth it! Baby Gronk!
That's a bummer, but you can't blame him for getting paid. Thanks for the memories, and for busting your butt to get back to play in the SB CJ. Good luck in Jersey, you'll need it, lol.

Yup
I hate to see him go but at the same time I'm happy for him. He's a good dude.
Think we’ll miss him more in the locker room. I never thought TE should be a high priority even if it was Gronk. We have 3 very good receivers we just need a TE who is solid and won’t cost a ton. With the improved line we can probably run better and have more time for things to open up.

Mayer's incredible, but we need to wait 'til next year...
Thaddeus Moss and Scotty Washington probably cracked a smile when they learned the news.
We have to choose wisely where we spend. 7 years, 1591 receiving yards, and 13 TDs is replaceable. Love the guy. But I remember Reggie Kelly. Great blocker, meh pass catcher, great locker room guy, team leader. Never won a playoff game with him.
