If they go into the draft with both as clear immediate needs, then it's a concern. It is not even day 1 of signing. There are guys out there, one just cut in SF. Arik Armstead would be a nice addition. There are also a couple of run stoppers. Long way to go as we have yet to see teams make cuts to get inside the cap to sign someone else.
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.

Today is just a boring day mostly because the tampering announcements are pretty much done. They aren't going to exit Free Agency with no RT and only BJ Hill and Zack Carter at DT. Give it time.

Could be Ja'Marr's contract Yeah, they can still talk about it though, need for Free Agency to end before paying Ja'Marr his monster contract.

Same here, bottom line we need a RT in Free Agency more than about anything just because of this fact. The Day 2 WR's have a much better chance of being starters down the road than the Day 2 RT's.

Also, no "value" free agent is going to work either. You need a couple of legit run stuffers added to this defense. Re-signing Reader and drafting Sweat would be a good start Ravens signed Henry today which is on line with AFCN Rbs need to be...at 250# we will need to add some serious Beef on DL Browns have 230 # - Chubb Pitt has 240# - Harris Balt now has 250 # Henry meanwhile we play small ball signing Zack Moss at 205# coupled with Brown at 205 as well. I was hoping for AJ Dillon

Surely, it can't be that they want to talk about the signings that were already announced, but cannot. It's not like the Bengals signed Henry or a big name. The ones signed barely caused a ripple on ESPN and NFL.com. It's really starting to annoy me that they posted this. Why bother posting it at all?

All true, the only way is if JJ wants out of there to play with a good QB and we all know who his favorite is, which gives this any reality. (03-12-2024, 05:44 PM)Rotobeast Wrote: If I'm not mistaken, JJ made a statement about whether Cousins was retained, and it how that would affect his desire to stay in Minny. Makes sense, that must of been part of the rumblings I was hearing. (03-12-2024, 05:46 PM)pulses Wrote: If JJ and Chae would both play for 25/yr I could see Cincy trading Tee and a pick/s for JJ. Maybe if Burrow gave up some of his contract it would help, but yeah, I doubt they take that much of a discount as both are probably going to make 30 mil plus. (03-12-2024, 05:46 PM)jj22 Wrote: JJ let his preference known when before the game he openly wore a Burrow, Chase, JJ jersey. Say it means nothing, but what if Boyd wore a Steelers jersey before a game against the Steelers while he was inactive..... All true, which is why this has any reality of happening what so ever. (03-12-2024, 05:52 PM)Rotobeast Wrote: I could see Burrow re-doing his contract to make it happen. It'd probably take $27m each. Making me think there is a possibility if Burrow was willing to do that. (03-12-2024, 05:54 PM)Ell Prez Wrote: Hill got 30. Even chase has said if he and JJ were to reunite they’d both have to take a haircut. Yep, so unlikely.

Re-signing Reader and drafting Sweat would be a good start To get Sweat, you may not be able to wait to 49. You gonna use Pick 18 on a 2-down NT? If you use Pick 18 on NT, you risk not getting a decent RT depending on whether they add anyone in FA still. But really none of the NTs in FA are gonna be better than a healthy Reader.
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!

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.

Patrick Queen to the Steelers is an interesting one.

I don’t know about NT at 18 but I do know that I don’t want to see the other DT options at 18 face Henry and that Baltimore line. We needed a starting NT in FA.
Badly. We didn’t get it and now it’s Reader or free agency bust. Quote:"Success doesn’t mean every single move they make is good" ~ Anonymous |
