Man, if we could just get Collins I think we will be set.

If cincy gets Collins, sure

If they don’t, and have to grab an average-below average RT, then the line is still below average. Better than ‘21, but still below average

I made a pro Frank Pollack thread once so 19 hates on him every chance he gets. It’s a thing.

The #Bengals are finalizing an agreement with OT La’el Collins, sources tell me and
@RapSheet
. He was supposed to leave town today for another visit but Cincy didn’t let him go.

I imagine they'll slate Carman and Smith to battle for the LG spot. Probably something Carman needs, given his short (supposed) track record. 

I don't see Spain coming back.

So now we can all relax and look forward to Joe taking the team on another SB run

Whoa...


Hold the presses!

To punctuate the Bengals' recruiting pitch, Joe Burrow had La'El Collins over to his house on Friday night, along with Ted Karras, Alex Cappa and Hayden Hurst, and their wives/girlfriends, I'm told.

So Burrow's a pretty good closer on multiple fronts for Cincinnati.

Well the table is set for Burrow , this team has added more offensives and defenses pieces for a QB that I can remember in our history... it is pretty much SB or bust now over the next few years. I can't see how we are not now top 3 AFC teams to win the SB next year

Why aren't we the favorite?

End the thread and the whining....FO did their job and dramatically improved this offensive line in an effort to get back to the Super Bowl. Maybe one day folks will look subjectively and understand this is a different franchise than 10 years ago.

2018 and 2019 AFC South Division Championships

A playoff game against the Bills in 2019

So in the NFL, not very much. Tebow won a title, and JaMarcus Russell won several awards in college.

That didn't age well, lol.

This aged like fine wine , however:

Clearly, they were close and both sides like a lot of what they heard. Others aren't exactly beating down La'el's door to get to him.   My best guess is that he will be in black and orange.

No doubt.  Plus Gregory was clowning the whole org after leaving for Denver.  Its not all sunshine and balloons in "Jerry-land" apparently.

Division title in 66% of his season as a starter.

More like a 20 year old bourbon.

Good call.

Somewhat of a fair point, but the AFC South has been notoriously weak as of late....save for TN.
