After his entire career in Cincinnati It's going to be weird seeing him on another team's injury report.

HA! Child molesting, hilarious! Anyway there's a big difference between writing him off and acting like he's this bookend OT when he's managed to play all of 10 games in 2 years. What annoys me is the "oh we're set at OT if we draft ______" nonsense. Sign this Reiff guy and that would be one (1) OT we know we can probably count on next season. I would think pretending otherwise after that same stubborn negligence got Burrow mangled would piss anyone off, They pulled the same shit with Ross, and Eifert, and Glenn, and Ogbuehi, and so many others.. The stubborn refusal to deal with a bad situation is why this franchise is in this hole in the first place. So yeah, I can't help calling out the Land of Make-Believe stuff. It's certainly not limited to Jonah Williams, nor is it his fault really but why the hell are we so determined to keep ignoring the facts?

In my opinion, people are writing Jonah Williams off way too early but that's simply a difference of opinion. Don't tell T-Dub I said this though. He gets super fucking angry about the topic. I might ask him to show me on the teddy bear where Jonah touched him. Having said that, I do not feel the addition of Reiff means anything for Williams and/or for the potential of adding Sewell. He's 32 years old, is likely more of a short term than long term fix and is at the very least better than Bobby Hart. My hope is that the addition would just adding better linemen to the mix, One thing people need to remember is that Sewell will go almost two full years without playing in a game by the time the season starts. Not sure he steps in and occupies any position on the line from Day 1, especially left tackle. The good news, in my opinion, if they add Reiff and Sewell is they have more options to fill the four "open" spots on the line in some fashion with better options than last year. Different coaching staff, different "era" but Andrew Whitworth played 3 seasons at OG before moving to OT. It's not out of the question that Sewell or Williams could play OG next season.

Chad Johnson is awesome. That’s all.

Because they have trouble catching the deep ball...

Chad Johnson always was.. Ocho not so much. I still love the dude though.

Lol

The story (apparently) is that Golladay approached the Bengals, not the other way around. He apparently wants to play with Joe Burrow. Giants apparently offering multi-year so that's where the decision is. Soft WR market, chance to play with Burrow and cash in next year when the cap increases or, play with Danny Dimes? I'm good either way. It would almost be guaranteed as a one year rental but, that would be a hell of a rental. Take that need off the board for this season. Win, win as far as I am concerned. If it doesn't happen, I'm fine, never expected it any way.

Yes... With the cap probably going back to norm next year he could cash in bigtime with a solid season.. Your also right about Danny Dimes and Dalton.. Id want JB throwing it to me ..

I think it's a bit on the health end but, more so because the market doesn't seem to be paying WRs right now. It would be like he's taking a one year break from the market, playing with a solid QB throwing him the ball, showing he's healthy and productive and cashing in for the 2022 free agency period. He met with Chicago and now with the Giants so, I'd say he's seeing more interest. Cincy's chances of signing him, in my opinion, are waning. The only thing the Bengals have going for them is Joe Burrow versus Daniel Jones or Andy Dalton if NYG/CHI aren't willing to pay up on a long term deal.

Hart is a decent backup. It isn’t his fault the Bengals overpaid for him to be a starter. So if one of our tackles goes down you want a later round rookie to come in to protect Burrow? Seems like a bad plan.

Fuuuck that, they can be just as bad on the field as Hart and they still wouldn't be an embarrassment off the field. Can't go extending a dude like that and calling him "phenomenal" while talking about changing the culture.

I am all for upgrading the RT spot which we should with the first pick. That said probably the best backup for the price would be Bobby Hart. Capable OTs are actually rare, very expensive and are all starters.

Ogunjobi wad a 3trch for yhe Broens until Sheldon Richardson was moved into that role and plughing Ogujobi as their NT.. Bad move... Hes a 3tech and thats what the Bengals needed and will use him as..

Cap Tracker Update: (per - https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/) Bengals: $18,188,390 (10th best) League Average: $9,768,360 Top Three: $50.1M NYJ, $34.0M JAX, $33.2M BUF Bottom Three: -$14.5M PHI, -$17.1M CHI, -$26.6M LAR AFC North: (10) $18.1M CIN, (15) $8.1M BAL, (20) $5.3M CLE, (24) $0.7M PIT Weird Stat: 10 of the 11 teams with the most cap space are AFC. In the NFC, (5) CAR ($31.1M) has more cap space than the next three NFC teams combined. (12) MIN ($12.3M) + (16) SEA ($7.8M) + (17) TBB ($7.2M)

All of your posts are angry. You're like that guy that yells at random people at the grocery store or to get off his lawn. It's funny. I like it. I don't think many people believe the Bengals would be "set" by adding Sewell or Slater. I also get that his durability seems to be a concern but the two injuries are unrelated and my understanding is he was shelved after his injury last season and could have returned. I agree that 10 games over two seasons isn't enough to say Williams is your long term left tackle but, it's not enough to say he isn't. I will 100% agree that the Bengals loyalty, stubborn nature, stupidity or a combination of all three have been an issue over the years. I also don't think it's time to start thinking Johan Williams is Cedric Ogbuehi quite yet. No NFL team is moving away from essentially a Top 10 pick after two years.

Williams was not the problem in getting Burrow killed, that was entirely Michael Jordan. I do like the idea of still drafting Sewell and having 3 good Tackles in case one gets hurt though.

I'm gonna tell y'all right now, if they pull off Reiff and Galladay I will be thoroughly impressed and MIGHT even believe a corner is being turned. Just sayin.

Im sure they have.. They added to the defense first.. Now comes a new boatload of FA that theyll go after.. Offering Golliday is a huge first step.. Linemen will come too...

Solid signing. He along with Williams makes Bernard expendable, if needed. Don't freak out Gio lovers, I too like the guy. He's last on my "you could cut this guy to get space" list. He's a hell of a blocker, receiver and a high character guy. He's just over priced and if you need another $4 million to get someone for the offensive line (I know) and/or extend Bates, this may need to happen.

Wow, nice. The Burrow effect

Which is why it is puzzling that the Cards gave him $6M guaranteed

Thanks for the Memories, AJ!! Good Luck in the desert!!
