    Jefferson doesn't owe the Bengals anything. He may well be happy to play with his college teammates again and the Bengals have a better chance of post-season play than the Vikings. But that doesn't mean he'll give them a discount. Ja'Marr might take a bit less than Jefferson but also might not want to be WR2. 

    I would not even make the trade,unless JJ,agrees to a contract,with the Bengals before they make the deal.

    So apparently the Bengals didn't talk to Reader about an extension until free agency started. Sounds like he wanted to start taking earlier 

    Saw Reader,in an interview with Kay Adams recently.He said ,he was there  working out and rehabbing every day,and no one from Bengals ownership,ever talked to him.

    The Bengals cannot/will not pay both Chase/Jefferson. They (apparently) cannot/will not pay Chase/Higgins, so what makes you think they would pay Jefferson the kind of guaranteed money that would be required to get him signed long term? I'm not even convinced they will be able to sign just Chase to a long term extension, but I hope they prove me wrong on that.

    Because JJ,is not Higgins.JJ is the best wr in the NFL.Higgins is not.So maybe they would pay both of them.Especially,if they are both willing to take less,to play together.

    If Brown is such an obvious upgrade over Becton, who didn't want to play here...why did the Bengals not target Brown from the beginning of FA, like why waste time on a lesser player like Becton?

     

    Is it purely because of the Frank Pollack connection, because if so that is a huge waste of time and misstep? This idea that Pollack was going to rehab Becton's career is hilarious because he hasn't been able to develop one decent starter out of the 7 draft picks the Bengals have used on the offensive line in the past 5 years. These are talented players who have all the tools to be successful but Pollack has only managed to get one to start, and he's the worst player on the offensive line, a legit liability that should be replaced. 

     

    The Bengals wasted a whole week on Becton when they should have been targeting Brown from the beginning, but better late than never...I guess...let's hope they get a deal done with Brown. 

    Who effing cares.They got it done.Move on.

    Not too long ago, we suggested that the Cincinnati Bengals need to take the tight end position much more seriously in order to improve next season.

     

    One of the reasons for that idea was simply how well the position had performed for winning playoff teams over the first two rounds of the postseason.

     

    Fast forward to now, that same logic very much still applies ahead of the AFC and NFC title games.

     

    As Pro Football Network pointed out, all four teams taking part in championship weekend boast a top-10 tight end in terms of receiving yards at the position this year:

     

     

     

    Receiving metrics aren’t the only thing that matters, but it just goes to show that having a top-tier player at the position is a big deal for the NFL’s best right now.

     

    That’s important for a Bengals team that likes to be up on league trends, if not ahead of the curve. And it’s especially important for a team that seems likely to lose Tyler Boyd to free agency and franchise tag Tee Higgins, keeping him for at least one more season.

     

    Sure, finding a Travis Kelce or George Kittle isn’t easy. But spending bigger resources in an attempt to find one seems to be a good idea.

    Zac Taylor does not seem to think having a good TE,or a good OL are important.He just wants to throw the ball 60 times a game.If his qb,gets hurt,so be it.

    No way. Picking a good WR early in the draft is almost a can’t miss proposition.  By far the easiest position to successfully draft early.  I love Tee but he isn’t worth a 7 especially since he WON’T be on a rookie contract. 

    Agree.The Titans are not giving up the 7th pick for Higgins.Especially after the year he just had.A 2nd round pick,is far more likely.

    That is exactly why we need to be taking 1st round linemen, or at least first-round tackles. Don't mess around with this.

    They took an OT in the first round a few years ago.His name was Cedric Ogbuehi.,How did that work out? Do not let Frank Pollack,pick the o-linemen.\He is a terrible talent evaluator.Anyone remember, Jackson Carman? Another Frank Pollack bust.

    That is because the HC doesn't commit to the run, which is mind-boggling with a banged-up QB and a line that struggles to pass block it would make sense to run the ball to protect both parties. Mixon is currently 9th in rushing yards but the Bengals don't rush the ball consistently enough to get a flow going, too pass-happy.   We definitely have to get more talent on the offensive line tho, specifically at LG and RT, because I don't expect Jonah to return and Volson sucks. 

    I agree with this.Zac likes to throw the ball too much.You need a more balanced offense.
