That's some big dollars. So far, Williams, Moton, Zeitler, Scherff and Thuney gone from my list of hopefuls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalFanInTO Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Corey Linsley to the Chargers. Joe Burrow will die next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 While I would have welcomed Linsley, Burrow's life is more in the hands of our guards and RT. We have passable starters at LT and C, at least when healthy. Hopkins is unlikely to be ready for week 1 but Price can hold down the fort for a month. Jonah can likewise hold his own until his inevitable injury. But at LG, RG, and RT we don't have even the glimpses of average starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madieu Superstar Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Reading other boards where ppl are furious over these developments lol. How often can people be fooled. 1. This team is never going to spend like the Rockefeller's. 2. This team is never going to manipulate the cap to maximize investment in the current product on the field. 3. Normally, the only way a player would come to Cincinnati is if it is their highest/only offer. 4. When the Bengals do offer the highest amount, they usually pay it to someone unworthy such as Waynes, Odom, or Bryant. With all that said, the odds of a good player signing with the Bengals are very slim. No reason to be angry or disappointed. Expect that the Bengals will shop in the tier 3 and tier 4 aisles. Be excited when they splurge for a tier 2 guy. Don't get too angry when the tier 2 guy suffers a serious injury the next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claptonrocks Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Well no Zeitler or Thuney.. Guess we ll sign a Gabe Jackson and Rob Havenstein to beef up the line.. Then again maybe they see hope in Michael Jordan and Bobby Hart.. 😞.. So far this really sucks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalFanInTO Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 People who become furious over sports need something to fill their lives. Having said that, if the Bengals blow this offseason (which history will say they will) I will be becoming a much more casual observer of the team moving forward. This was an opportunity for them. If they choose to let the opportunity slip by, I can't be bothered any more. I hope this won't be the case but, it's the Bengals way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why would a player want to come to Cincy right now unless you're offering more money than everyone else? You have a lame-duck coach, lame-duck coordinators and position coaches, the young star QB just had his knee Gillooly'd. The team never wins, the owner is a miser, the GM seems to have a lifetime contract. What's the reason the Bengals would be the choice over the other 31 teams? Money, that's it. And we know they never want to spend on something that they don't consider to be good or fair value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but that doesn't mean that Alex Redmond will magically be athletic enough to pass block or Bobby Hart's bad snaps will be less bad. Talent is definitely an issue in that room. They lack plenty of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because rookies are cheap. Unfortunately, the Bengals are bad at drafting as Ogbuehi, Fisher, Ross, and Price prove. Bad drafting can be overcome with good veteran talent evaluation in free agency. But again, that's not a strength of the team. Free agents by definition have options. There really isn't much reason to choose the Bengals over another team unless the Bengals overpay, ala Reader and Waynes. So I guess we're on to the trade options, maybe Havenstein or Ramczyk will end up here. We've already missed on Trent Brown and Marcus Cannon who were traded cheaply.

I've been following this team since the early 80's and I'm not even from Ohio. My point is that with what could be $60 million in cap space and a young QB of Burrow's caliber, you can't improve the team, there truly is no hope. I was not (nor do I ever) expect huge name players to come to this team but I am expecting them to make some significant moves. If they don't, no worries, I will just be tuning in a lot less. I'm just getting too old to concern myself with a losing cause much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelWeston Posted March 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 What's left. QB-Lots of talent, would still love to add a second veteran at least for camp once the dusts settles with backups RB-Still want to add Perine WR-Slowest moving position, Golladay himself is still available. 10 guys still available that would start right away as the 3rd WR. Options: Will Fuller, Curtis Samuel, TY Hilton, Marvin Jones, Chris Conley, David Moore, John Brown, Sammy Watkins, Josh Reynolds, Breshad Perriman TE-Probably makes more sense to go to the draft but Rudolph there he would be tough not to at least talk to. OL-The obvious upgrades and Rocks are all gone, and there weren't many to speak of just Linsley, Thuney, Zeitler, Scherff, Daryl Williams. Blythe and Havenstein both are versatile. Could play next to eachother at C/RG or RG/RT. C/G-Austin Blythe is the last guy I would really want at the C spot but he can play both C and RG G-Almost all the guys are RGs which means that I think Jonah Williams or Slater are probably the best ways to upgrade at LG. Might have to run with XSF and Spain at LG next year if we don't get an upgrade at RT. Options: Larry Warford, Gabe Jackson, Denzelle Good, Brian Winters, Trai Turner. T-Still talent available. Need to at least try to upgrade at RT. Options: Rick Wagner, Riley Reiff, Bobbie Massie, Mike Remmers, Mitchell Schwartz, Trade for Rob Havenstein K-I would love to add a guy here. 2 that standout. Eddie Piniero who got injured and lost his spot with the Bears and then Zane Gonzalez who was released recently. I wouldn't hate going into camp with one of those two and Seibert. DT-Need a pass rusher and pocket mover. Tyson Alualu is highest ranked pff, and at 34 years old should come cheap. Gotta have interest in the other Saints guys in Malcolm Brown and Sheldon Rankins. Eagles Malik Jackson was coached by Hobby and would be an interesting add. Could end up just being Atkins on a lighter deal DE-There are a ton of guys available that I would like to add. Morgan Fox is the most interesting for me as he seems to be ascending as well. A handful of 2nd and 3rd tier guys tied to our coaching staff who would be great to add. Options: Taco Charlton, Dion Jordan, Charles Harris, Vic Beasley. Aldon Smith is an interesting guy as well. S-Just need depth here so I have no idea CB-RT or Corner is where we go next I think. Brian Poole and Malcolm Butler could round out the CB room if WJ ain't coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
