Good thread
If we can continue to draft this well, I like our 68 million in cap space also in 2024. We likely will also have draft picks next year.
I think our own FA must sign are:
1. Reader
2. Higgins
Those are my top 2.
Then, I would love to see us go after a Chris Jones or Williams (cheaper) from the Seahawks
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.

Loved seeing him get his head turned around to find the ball rather than just sticking his hand in there to block it.

And, of course, Ivey got the big fumble recovery.

At this point his floor looks like a more athletic Sam Hubbard and his ceiling is sky high if he can hone his technique and reach it.
He looked pretty good today.

Yep, especially considering his NFL prospect grade was 6.18 (Good backup with potential to develop into starter). He's continued to clean up some of the errors that he was making in coverage early on, and is really looking seasoned beyond his years as a run defender.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Damn rights, love Jordan Battle and he is playing like a starter already. That was a nice pass breakup by Poison Ivey up above as well. Lou
does a good job with Corners, drafting them and developing them. DJ Turner is such a willing tackler and once he becomes more comfortable
and instinctual because of it he will start to make QB's pay with interceptions.
Fluid hips and elite speed are very rare skillsets for a young Corner that you cannot teach, Turner has both.

I think long term Isovias will be the best
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

He DOES have crazy upside and has played well for a rookie, specifically on ST's and should have at least 1 more TD if Browning would of seen
him in the first stealer game. With his size, speed, physicality along with learning to catch with his hands and run crisp routes he could be very
special in the future.

He'll have his chance to show what hes got this week with Chase out. Thats a lot of snaps to go around to him and Charlie.

And this is barring any mental steps in understanding coverages
You don’t gotta run a 4.5 you just gotta tackle and play smart and Battle does that just fine

LOL ofc they would, but he will be gone in the top 5. So only a few teams will actually have a chance to get him, so then is Tee the best option?

He's 24 though... Probably a lil closer to a finished product than it might appear on the surface. He'll definitely improve with experience though.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.
