If healthy. He played 4 games last year. One was a neck injury. That's scary.

Sample flashed enough over the years and was missed.

He is coming off injury, I am guessing no money guaranteed so he has incentive to make the cut.
Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!

Don't lump me in with that crowd. I was mildly optimistic about Geno Stone, but I was vehemently against trying to replace a NT with Sheldon Rankins.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Yeah, when you read about neck and foot injuries in older players you know they're about done. Those aren't things the types of things that you can just play on and push through.

Becton played LG, but Sherff is a RG.
I get the anxiety as each hour passes, it seems FO is in slow motion.
The BS we need to know what we are doing with Chase and Tee is just that, BS. They have the money to fill a huge need. I have no idea why they are being passive to get it done. Get guys to protect the franchise already.
Becton most certainly was a RG last year. Tackle before that.
Fries, Daniels, Becton, Zeitler, and Scherff are all RGs. Jenkins and Banks the LGs.
Becton, Scherff, and Jenkins are still out there.
Donovan Jackson is a LG. IDK about Booker.

It's not tampering negotiating with your own free agent lol. It does seem like the Chiefs and Patriots might get a slap on the wrist.

Ravens were the team who Pats and Chiefs are accused tampering.
It sound like Pats coulld be in very deep trouble (3 guys) and Chiefs could face and smaller fines and only loss of 5th round pick.
If Pats lose #4 pick in 2025 draft Vrbel and FO could be in deep trouble.

They aren't going to take the #4 pick off of the Pats.
The NFL usually gives teams slaps on the wrist. They'll take maybe a 5th Round pick.

Did you click and read the link provided? A team did lose a 1st round pick in the past for severe violations. If Pats did indeed cheat and go after 4 big name free agents prior to the legal tampering perod, that seems severe to me. On other hand Chiefs only appear to busted for going after Stanley? But did they also go after the LT they signed too?
That is what investigations need to determine.

I don't know for sure but if they cut Moss and restructure like Joe said he would I think they do have enough cap space for adding Teven
Jenkins and Brandon Scherff. Not to mention if they get the Ja'Marr deal done and maybe trade Tee, we will see.

According to my calculations (which can be flawed), using the off-season rules (top 51), assuming we cut Moss, and that spotrac's numbers for Hill are correct ($8,666,666) AND putting in $7 mil for Ossai, and a negligible impact for Sample....
We have $23.4 mil in cap space.
Now, once the season starts, and you count all 53, the Practice Squad, the 1st rounder signed, and whatever cushion/IR costs, it will be practically lower.
Of course, a Tee/Chase deal and/or a Burrow restructure would open up more.
But, say $16 for Jenkins and $7 for Scherff would be $23. We'd be tapped out pending something on the Big 3 front/restructures, or more cuts. Or a creative contract with Jenkins that has his cap significantly below APY salary.

Thanks Ike. Looks like enough to me for Teven Jenkins and Brandon Scherff, but will have to make some moves.

Feels like the Bengals are painting themselves into a corner when it comes to the draft. Defensive Line or nothing.

I am not sure I understand. It appears to me our biggest weakness is not close, it at OG. I would say Edge/DE is next, then safetty.

now heading to NY to visit the Gants.
It would be hilarious for the Browns to have Wilson and Pickett as their QBs
All hopes turn to next year
