sparky151 Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 We need 2 more O-linemen and a couple of CBs. We can go cheap otherwise for backup QB, WR4, CB4, etc. Worst case we should be able to re-sign Spain and Allen plus CBs Apple and Flowers. We can draft a good TE and WR and CB and DT.

Jungletiger Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Bengals possible target La’el Collins could slip to free agency soon https://bengalswire.usatoday.com/2022/03/15/bengals-target-lael-collins-cut-cowboys-free-agency/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 The Warren Sapp and Shaun Rogers days are behind us, now that we have Joey B. We still need to finish upgrading the O-line. We shouldn't be starting any of last year's rookies or this year's crop either. With CJ leaving we can now allocate more money to the line. There is a good crop of TEs in the draft. We can draft a backup DT and depth at WR. But we need at least 3 more CBs. Tre Flowers shouldn't be too hard to keep. But we need to sign a vet CB, maybe Apple, as well as use an early pick there.

sparky151 Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 That's about what Ross was paid. He didn't count since we signed as many qualifying free agents as we lost. It seems likely we'll add more than we lose this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 It appears that it’s come down to a two-team competition for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, with longtime Houston Chronicle reporter John McClain saying that, “He’s rejected everybody but Carolina and New Orleans,” during a Monday appearance on WFNZ sports radio with Kyle Bailey, though McClain later characterized the move as “Other interested teams could have been rejected,” when reporting directly for the Houston Chronicle. The only team we know has been rejected are the Indianapolis Colts, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who notes that was the Texans’ decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Bengals should be calling Tretter's agent today. He would have made 8.2 mil this year under his old contract. Signing him would let us save 6 mil by cutting Hopkins and putting Karras at LG where he's played the last 2 years. Also since Tretter was cut, he won't figure in the comp pick formula next year.
