Agreed Apple should talk less but he's a starting caliber NFL CB on a cheap contract. The Bengals need deals like that. 

Every year I try to talk him off the roster and the reality is we aren't getting a better corner at his price tag.

To tender Wilcox as a Restricted Free Agent, they would have had to offer over 2 million dollars per year. They used to do that for backup guys like Tupou but are smarter about it now that it's not so hard to sign free agents. Wilcox deserves a chance to test the market but I doubt anyone else gives him that much. He'll probably get a deal for 1 year, close to minimum with a bit of signing bonus. Maybe another team gives him an opportunity for more snaps but maybe he signs somewhere then they draft a TE early and he's buried on the depth chart.

 

My guess is he comes back with the Bengals. If he doesn't, it's not a significant loss.

As long as this team has Burrow, Chase, and Higgins they are contenders

 

That's the plan. Keep the Big 3 whatever it takes, and then get mid tier guys on cheaper hometown contracts around them (like Pratt's). 

 

No need to panic. Our star WRs are on a yacht doing 'boats and hos' cameos, as they know they still have Shiesty. And that's enough.
