palmer4mvp Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 After the SB run in my estimation. I may be wearing rose colored glasses but I really think Joe/Tee/Jamar will take deals to keep the team together as much as possible. They know that winning multiple championships is worth more than a few extra million dollars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slag911 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Not to be pessimistic on him...Joe B. is the one that matters. I have no issues with Mixon but he cannot shine without better play on the line. He certainly is a talented enough RB. In the future, I would like them to bring in or draft a faster Dobbins type to pair with him in a 2 back set. Perine has done fine in his role spelling Mixon as single back but not quite quick enough. Certainly tough enough. Not sure when Perine's contract is up? I do not see any position to break the bank on except Lineman, WR and Joe at this point. Mixon is worth the money but not at the cost of other positions. Traditionally, great passing offenses can plug just about anyone in at RB when you pass 75% of the time. His potential is very high but only 1 game this season has been moneyball for him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way you think and wear the same rose colored glasses as far as keeping Joe, Ja'Marr (who I think will be kept) but would love to see Tee, too. Maybe mention that the extra millions could be made up by playoff games. Â And endorsements which they are less likely to get on meh teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer4mvp Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Lots of big names to extend or reup contracts with. If Joe B is the first domino to fall and takes a team friendly deal I think others will follow suit. Would love to see Pratt and Bell do the same because they don’t want to leave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 My guess is the team exercises his 5th year option this spring and they do a new contract after the 2023 season. That would allow the team to keep more free agents with Burrow on his rookie deal instead of 40-50 mil. The team will give Burrow whatever he wants but I don't think he's in a hurry. He's worth 50 mil per year but I could see him taking well less than that in return for a higher guaranteed % of the total. Or perhaps taking a % of the cap deal.  In effect Burrow is the Bengals cap manager for the next few seasons. The team will give him what he wants and cut or pass on other players to make Joe happy. My guess is Joe will prefer to have a better team around him than maximizing his own financial gain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess Mixon and Boyd might be going into their last year with the team in 2023. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magiccats32 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 In a perfect world, all the guys take a discount to stay here. But I doubt that actually happens because it is so rare. Assuming guys generally sign market contracts we need to prioritize Burrow and Chase (obviously). Then I see us extending 2 (maybe 3) of Tee, Jonah, DJ, awuzie, and Wilson of the big name players up in next two years. I’d assume Boyd and Mixon are gone.  I love Tee, but I think the Bengals should consider trading him in the off-season if the can get the haul other teams have gotten for top wr (aj brown went for #18 pick and a third). No way the salary cap will give us room to pay a top qb and 2 top wr market rates. Reload with some in inexpensive high draft picks to keep the run going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Perine aside I still don't see why they'd choose to double Mixon's salary next year. I'm sure the extra $5M would come in handy and he's not doing anything special. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRAPradio Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I've thought about how to keep this team together way more often than I'd like to admit, and here's what I came up with.  You have to spend money on the offense and go with heavy defensive drafts. Here's my logic. You HAVE to keep Joe, Ja'marr and Tee together. You also have to have at least an average offensive line. RBs are a dime a dozen and you can find serviceable TEs and slot receivers. With that being said, you let Mixon's contract expire, same for TB (though I'd hate for him to leave). You pay the big 3 market value (ouch) and try to find a bargain TE (Hurst?). You also look in FA for o-line talent and depth.   As for the defense...you have to find an edge rusher and a 3tech. Hendrickson and BJ are good enough. DJ is a luxury, and would be almost impossible to replace. I don't think it's possible to pay one maybe two defenders, but if you do I think it has to be on the d line. Gotta be able to get pressure and derail drives with a sack or TFL. I think you can have a good defense if you've got a fast, smart and disciplined team....kind of what we have now.   As for the draft you lean defense to keep it young, fast and cheap and hope you hit on a few of them over the years. If there's a can't miss OL or TE, you draft them.  Just my $0.02...Duke, I'm coming for your job! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 I think you have to keep Joe and Jamar. I would love to keep Tee, but I also recognize he may want to be a #1, and I also would suggest that the draft is turning out good WRs fairly consistently these days. I want to keep Tee, but do not thing Tee can't be replaced either.  That said I think this offseason we keep Joe, Von, Hurst, and maybe Apple. Next offseason we keep Wilson and hopefully Tee, then we talk Jamar.  What this team is going to have to start being sure we are good at is drafting towards the bottom of the draft. It's easier to get good guys in the top 10, but we are not going to be in the top 10 for a very long time now.  If the Bengals are serious about drafting that may mean we need to expand our scouting department. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Since QBs only get more expensive by the month, the sooner the deal is done the better.  I think the Bengals will push hard to sign an extension before next training camp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
