[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Reader + L. Williams or Onwenu and I'd be ecstatic.

He'll play wherever the team wants him to play that gives him the most money i'm sure lol.

Same. That would be a fantastic FA for our needs that would open up the Draft.

2nd and a 5th, reportedly.

Now Carolina needs to make an offer for T.

That kind of sucks.  Eluemunor would have been a good bridge between drafting a RT.  7 million a year is not bad and is a tiny bit lower than projected.  I hope this means we are going after Onwenu instead.

Give us that 2nd and 5th and Tee is gone bye bye

Veteran RB Austin Ekeler is signing with the #Commanders on a two-year deal worth up to $11.43 million, per sources.

After seven seasons — and 69 TDs! — with the #Chargers, Ekeler has a new home on a deal negotiated by agents Justin Ross and Greg Brookey of @DynamicSportGrp. pic.twitter.com/3oh6wOvEpZ

This would certainly make the team better in my opinion as well. Who you thinking of for DT? 

I certainly like Reader but if there is someone younger and ascending with no injury history that would be better in my eyes in combination with a high draft pick at DT.

I feel like the flexibility of Onwenu makes him appealing. Definitely good for depth that he plays great at G or RT.

Lots of options in the draft at wideout as well. I would prefer a strong focus on dline/oline early. 
Flexibility is important when picking BPA though. Landing a free agent RT and DT would be huge.

I read Onwenu is representing himself and gets labeled as a high-intelligence guy. I know I'm only reading random internet articles about him but he sounds like a Zac-type of player. I'd like him to join the Bengals.

And Kendall Fuller after losing Chido of course.

Sign Onwenu and move Vollson to RT where he played in college.

[RunKijanaRun]

I need more than Stone on day one.

Sources: The #Patriots are re-signing versatile OL Michael Onwenu, one of their cornerstone players, to a 3-year, $57M deal including $38M guaranteed. A clear priority for New England, he gets a $22.5M signing bonus. pic.twitter.com/mDpUz5CvSS

[NATI BENGALS]

As bad as some of these OLs around the league are I’m shocked we haven’t heard anything about Jonah Williams.

[Joelist]

Well with Onwenu gone we can forget upgrading RT.

[jj22]

RT at 18.

Wonder if anyone knows off hand about how many Signings the Bengals have typically done on Day 1 the past few years ?

[Destro]

Does seem like a lot more movement on the very first day ( and the few leading up ).

We're about to hear that he's back, and making more money too.

What might the odds be that the Bengals...

                                                                1. make Jonah an offer ?

                                                                2. make him one that he accepts ?
