Reports are saying Bengals close to both Higgins and Chase's extension.
So I'll be this guy. I'm ok being the resident asshole. But.....how do they improve this team from last year? I want them signed. My saying I don't. They are the core 2 along with Joe. But we still, even if we sign both have not improved this roster at all from last year's 9-8 team...

I hear you and agree. However, I do like having Perine back for his blocking and pass pro skills. Its only a piece though. Right now we have traffic cones at guard. So there better be a LOT of cash left for FAs to fill those holes.
I mean I totally get we NEED Tee and Chase but man Burrow is gonna get killed with what we have now. Unbelievable really. Even if it's just one good guard and then draft one ya know.
I was crazy back when being crazy really meant something.

So we can be happy about them getting Tee and Chase done and still be really annoyed about not getting more done in the off-season. It's not like they are mutually excusive.

Mekhi Becton signed with the Chargers. Not saying he was one of the Bengals targets for G, but it is one less option out there.
You guys are going go be severely disappointed at the team they've put together this year. Severely disappointed. - Joe Bananas 8/18/2025

I'm excited they are extended. What I'm saying is we haven't improved a team that finished 9-8 last year. That's all. And we are expecting Cody Ford to be a guard and who at the other? Burrow is gonna get killed by week 4 if we dont upgrade these interior olineman

The D is going to suck so need to keep Burrow healthy so they can outscore teams. To do that they have to bring in at least 1 guard as FA and draft one in the 1st or 2nd round.

Yeah agree. I mean I think there's 3 or 4 spots that need an upgrade

2 IOL
RB
DBs
LB for Pratt
Edge!

Maybe we can these in the draft but unlikely too. I mean we're not going to draft another jj watt in the 6th round ya know? Our first 2 or 3 players selected need to be legit!

I feel OK about RB as team is going to be a pass first (and second :lol: ) offense.

But yes the others you listed badly need upgraded.

True. I mean it's not like we're a run oriented team. Wonder is Moss is coming back? Have you heard anything?

He is due to make 3.5 million and cap hit is 1.5 million if cut him so I can't see anyway they don't cut him.
