OK but is he better than Karras?  This thing where we should sign guys because they used to hold Joe up for kegstands back in college doesn't really hold much weight.

He's 26 v 31 and his PFF scores are all better.

Cushunberry had a respectable season.

Injured the year before.

 

3 yrs 27 mil 9 per.

 Not sure Bengals want to pay that much for a guy with only 1 decent season and under his belt.

Cushenberry was certainly better than Karras last year. He's also a good bit younger and signing him would let us move Karras to LG.

 

But Cushenberry will probably have bigger offers than 9 mil. Bears are desperate for a center and could easily go to 12 mil for him.

Good signng for Callahan.

He's trying to compete with the Texans on improving for a playoff run.

 

 

 

Woah that's crazy, we should try that. It may not be as effective as writing about how much borderline practice squad quality guy has improved over the off-season but it's worth a shot.

Becton sucks, I hope the Bengals don't sign him. He's big but slow and has awful technique. In his best season he allowed seven sacks, one QB hit, and 15 hurries in 387 pass-blocking snaps while committing seven penalties.

 

There are guys on the roster who can give you that type of production, hard pass.

Not a Bechton fan. Injuries and inconsistencies… no thanks.
 

Gimme Tyron Smith on a 1-year deal and I’ll draft a young guy early. You have Cody Ford as an injury replacement for hopefully the few games that Smith will likely miss.

I think we just have to be patient here. We knew the FA market was not good, but players can get released and opportunuties come up like Brown did last year. Plus, with that extra 3rd round pick, this gives us more ammo to move up a few spots in the draft if we are targeting one of the RT's and they start to run.
