MichaelWeston Posted August 31 Author Report Share Posted August 31 Fast forwarding to 2025 for discussion. Our FA's Williams 25 Irwin 25 Higgins 25 Hudson 25 Gesicki 25 Ford 25 Brown 25 Tufele 25 Hill 25 Ossai 25 Davis-Gaither 25 Bachie 25 Bell 25 Hilton 25 Plus Smith-Evans and Sample The team absent Free Agents QB Burrow 29 Browning 26 Woodside RB Moss 26 Brown 27 Milton WR Chase 26 Pryor WR Burton 28 Jackson WR Iosivas 27 Jones 27 Burgess TE Sample 27 All 28 McClachlan 28 Grandy LT Brown 27 Kirkland LG Volson 26 Hill C Karras 26 Lee 28 RG Cappa 26 Manning RT Mims 29 Cochran K McPherson 28 P Rehkow 27 Robbins 27 LS Adomitis 25 LE Hubbard 26 Murphy 27 Henry 27 LT Jenkins 28 Jackson 28 Rogers RT Rankins 26 Carter 26 Davis RE Hendrickson 26 Johnson 28 Thomas WLB Pratt 26 Heyward MLB Wilson 28 Njongmeta 27 S Battle 27 Jules S Stone 26 Anderson 26 CB Taylor-Britt 26 Newton 28 Brooks CB Hill 27 Ivey 27 NB Turner 27 Anthony 28 Davis We would need some WR depth DT would need a top player but Hill could be back. There is a decent chance both Bell and Brown are back. That's your Safety and Tackle position settled Hilton is maybe gone and replaced by Turner or Anthony or Newton.

Randle P McMurphy Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Agree on some WR depth. DT is definitely a need as is NT. Hopefully Mims comes along and if Brown comes back it's as a back up at Tackle. This will be Daxton Hill's 1st year at CB. Depending on his play this year he could replace Hilton and Turner or Newton play CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWeston Posted August 31 Author Report Share Posted August 31 QB=You will eventually want a PS QB who can take over for Browning. I don't think that's Woodside. Don't need to worry about this until 2025 RB=Milton is interesting. Williams is probably on 1-year contracts in perpetuity. His special teams play and ability to have success in short stints probably doesn't age poorly. Milton as a great add for the long term. WR=I am sure Irwin can be had back similar to Williams. Higgins is gone. Chase will be paid. They will want to hedge Burton with an early pick I would bet. Yoshi-Jones are both solid. The 3 practice squad guys could all be fringe roster guys. TE=Gesicki might get a big payday if he has a big year. Hudson is probably on the Irwin-Williams model. You are set here if All or McClachlan show anything this year. Sample can be released after 1 year easily but I don't think that's in the cards OL=All 5 starters back. Lee and Kirkland back for next 4 years. Hopefully we have something there. Ford is probably back pretty easily. Brown might be trickier. Will be thinking about an early Guard next year with Volson and Cappa 26 Free Agents and Cappa maybe falling off a bit last year. ST=Adomitis is restricted this year but should be back long term. His predecessor played here for 12 years or something. That's the model. Hopefully find a punter soon. DT=Lots of new faces. Hill will probably be back but you never know. Aging here but added youth with draft picks and PS. Tufele and Carter are probably my least favorite Bengals. Hoping for an upgrade here. DE=Top 3 are likely back with Johnson and Henry as well. Ossai is tricky because I hope he plays so well he signs a big contract somewhere else. LB=Top 2 back and then ADG and Bachie are free agents. Heyward and Nongmeta probably slide right in. S=If Bell goes Battle is capable. Stone is just on a 2 year deal. This is somewhat influx but its clear what they value and Stone and Bell are probably here longer than their current deals. CB=CTB is a FA after 2025. Lots of questions here but the room if full of studs. If Hill is solid we have him for 3 years. Something I hadn't considered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 DE and CB will be the biggest needs next year IMO. Ossai has had a history of injuries, I like the kid, but I don't want to spend money on a guy who cant stay healthy. Hendrickson and Hubbard are not getting younger and Murphy is the only young DE we have after Ossai. I think DE becomes a 1st round need IMO. I would not mind giving Hilton a 1 year extension at 30 years old, but I want to see how our young DBs play this year, if they ball out we might just need depth instead of a starter. Battle will move back to being a starter after Bell leaves next year. Again depth. Much of this is really early and we need to see how guys play this year to have a feeling on what we need. Maybe Burton balls out and leaves Tee leaving with less sting? Maybe we find out our RBs are only guys that are RB by committee and none the type that prevent defenses from playing cover 2? Maybe Jackson shows he can be a good NT? Right now in the "way too early" draft, I think DE is the only real need to consider. But there is going to be need for depth in a few places. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randle P McMurphy Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 You could toss in OL as well. Volson is Volson. Terrible! Karras and Cappa are both average to slightly above average. The OL depth was horrible last year and thankfully all 5 played all 17 games yet we still lost Joe before seasons end! Jury is still out on the OL depth this year and hopefully we don't have to find out but we can't count on a repeat of last year's OL health. Protecting Joe should be priority #1!

The only place he's had success was in Dallas where he basically had 4 first round picks and a 7 year vet. Which is an anomaly and kind of hard to screw up and they let him walk! I just hope he doesn't screw up Mims somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe next year we can pluck Callahan's asst. OL coach or go after someone else. The Wisconsin Badgers have produced a lot of OL in the NFL currently. So has USC, Penn St. and Notre Dame. Check out those guys. Someone! lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have lil power backs in Brown and Moss so I could see this big horse in short down and goal line plays... I think he'll be RB3 with Williams going to PS.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
