If the Steelers decided to pick up the option. Then trade. The contract "option year" goes to the acquiring team. Bengals faced this last year with Jonah Williams. The only way out of that $12m 1yr option was to trade Williams once they decided to pick it up.

Well it sucks the Steelers are improving their QB postion in 2024 on the cheap. However, they got a tough road ahead. By May 2nd they have to commit to Fields 5th year which is $25m for 2025. If they don't then both Wilson and Fields are FAs next year and even marginal QBs are getting big deals. Essentially they will not get the advantage of "franchise qb" on rookie deal years if they want either of those 2 around past this year.

The question will be would Boyd want to come back on a cheap deal? With the off season under way it looks like extreme competition to get on the field as the 10th/11th player. Boyd would be looking at a reduced role. Unless there's some injuries its going to be tough to get those snaps and then targets. Hopefully they'll have a healthy Jones and Brown more this year. Add Gesicki. Bring back Sample and Hudson. What the Bengals have on offense is somehow being overlooked. They get some luck this time with Burrow it really falls on the shoulders of the line to be competent early on so the numbers aren't stunted. If the QB is healthy and OL not giving up a bunch of negative plays. Its going to be hard to stop.

98th pick is pretty good for Pickett, IMO.

There's a whole bunch of drama rumored in Cleveland 1. The firing of Van Pelt. Supposedly that was an ownership call 2. Flacco - Watson didn't want him around It'd be nice to have 1 team shit can the season in the North.

Tobin partially justified with his Bates stance because the high price safety took a dump this offseason. However, bringing back Bell and bringing in Stone suggests Hill and Battle aren't locks for snaps so the replacement plan still needs to prove out. Given, that I would assume Zac Carter might be in a crunch with Rankins coming aboard. Not looking rosey with the defender development right now. Just see how it all melts together.

That's pretty good. I thought it was conditional meaning they wouldn't get a pick until next year. Kudos. Mixon/Moss? The reality is Chase Brown is the X factor as of right now. He's going to have to be the one filling the Mixon void. They probably just going to divide snaps up differently. Maybe a draft pick goes to RB as well.

Because nobody in a professional capacity is paying attention to those stats. They have more time, better tools to create their own. When you are hired as OL assistant or whatever that's what you are doing among many other things. Otherwise they'd just pay the subscription cost and save the money. I assume the Bengals will or won't sign Becton at certain amount based on that.

Rankins - Like the move. Former 1st round pick. Possible get you 5 sacks from 3T. Hopefully paired with BJ. Don't like the availability or age. I don't think this spells the end of the Nose Tackle spot. This probably puts Zac Carter on notice as this is more of pass rusher. I would think BJ Hill is safe. Bell - Hilarious. Sign a year earlier and people are estatic they kept Pratt and Bell. Let Lou sort out the pieces in the secondary. I don't think it spells the end for anyone, there's a ton of potential in that group. Get them sorted out and elevate the level of play. Becton - If this happens. It probably more of a problem for Smith or Carman. If they sign him and do nothing eles. Cody Ford would be your RT opening TC. With one of the other tackles competing for a spot. I doubt this is all they do at tackle. Just might not lock them in at 18 taking one.

Just a guess but Texans will beat the Bengals out for Armstead and probably would not have traded Collins if they weren't sure they have an opportunity to sign Armstead. Maybe. Or maybe the Bengals didn't like Collins at $8.5m. Who knows? Why do they wait to release Nick Scott? My guess would be to make sure Geno Stone signs, I guess.
