Would those guys have to eat crow if the Bengals sign a back-up FA or one off of IR or something? I mean Mike Edwards signing is not like signing Jordan Poyer.
Like a teenage girl driving a Ferrari.
Next weeks feature, crow.

Lol, who said we are replacing them with 5th and 6th round picks? If we get Damien Harris or devin singletery to replace perine, did we lose that much? I think everyone you are assuming to want a draft pick, in actuality believes it will be a NFL starting caliber player.

I think a bit much is being made of Hurst's age. He's played all of five seasons, so it's not like he has the wear and tear of an average 29 year old.

If hurst costs you 3/21, but Irv smith is 1/3.5, and the production is the same… isn’t it bad business to pay more for equal? Business 101.

Bell and Perine shock me. I guess the Bengals didn’t even make an offer to those guys.

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. Sorry for Party Rocking!

The same panic happened last year. We lost Uzomah and signed no one during the tampering period. No one was complaining by the time FA ended. Perine was a backup. It makes sense for him to leave because he outperformed his role. Perine can be replaced with Trayveon Williams or another backup. Hurst can be replaced with another journeyman tight end or a draft pick. Even in the worst case scenario, we still have Chase/Boyd/Higgins. Hurst didn’t perform any better than Uzomah did in 2021. How did signing Uzomah to a long term contract work out for the Jets? Best of luck to Hurst, but he wasn’t a critical piece in 2022. Tight end is a luxury for this offense. Neither player is difficult to replace, if not upgrade

One of the key's to the Bengals turn around is their free agents came from teams with playoff success, their draft picks came from college playoff and championship teams. Signing players from the Bears etc who has never contributed to a team who won more then 4 games is losing a little of that wining culture mindset.

Teams are going to run out of money or cut good players. It happens ever year. The Ravens has used this tactic for years and seems they always get a very good player late. Too many ready or jumping off the cliff. Great TE class, I am confident we get a better TE in the draft than Hurst.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

Maybe to sign another ie safety, they are letting guys like Hurst and Perine go.

All of this tells me they plan to sign Burrow, Chase, Wilson, Tee and possibly a free agent OT.
Also expect them to sign a free agent safety and corner and possible a TE. Still very early in free agent season.

I think most will feel much better in 2 weeks
It's easy to see the world in black and white. Grey? I don't know what to do with grey.

Eagles sign one of their CB's, then forced to cut Slay. Dallas tags Pollard and likely to cut Elliott.
As I said, teams are not just adding guys, they are also cutting players. Cut players do not count against the compensatory draft formula. To date, we have lost 4 free agents and not signed one. For those who say extra picks are a bad thing because yes they were in the past do to poor drafting, the current group seems to be drafting very well so I will take extra picks to help us keep our cap in line. KC had a terrible FA in 2022, then hit big on the 2022 draft. Relax everyone, have faith in our FO.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you but Damien Harris has played for the Patriots his entire career and Devin Singletary the Bills. The only of those two that have been on a team with losing record was Harris when the Pats went 7-9 in 2020 and 8-9 last year. So two of his 4 seasons there but even then I would still consider the Patriots a franchise with a culture of winning. ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
