Considering we signed a couple of FA OL, TE has to be our top need now. I'm sure Gronk won't come to Cincy now with his buddy coming back to TB.

That looks like good value. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurecoach Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 2 hours ago, The Raven said: Guessing they feel Sample/Moss or a draft pick or someone else wouldn't be that much of a drop off and they don't have to pay $8 mil a year. There is still a few solid TEs available right now, with possibly more upside than Uzomah. However, you do lose the leadership he brought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Hakeem Adeniji - 48.3 C Trey Hopkins - 51.4 Are we sure they signed Kappas to play Center? He played left guard for the Patriots last year, and it was the best year of his career. Better than any year has had at center. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does end up at LG. He gives them position flexibility which is good. At the moment they can keep Hopkins, or still draft Linderbaum if he falls to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, interior of the line was definitely needing address first because that has been their biggest issue. There are still plenty of options available at there in FA for RT and or via Trade like Collins too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJAlltheWay24 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Looking at TE free agents, and I don't think I've seen these guys names as signed yet: Eric Ebron Gerald Everett Robert Tonyan Jared Cook Tyler Kroft Maxx Williams Anthony Firkser OJ Howard Seems like there are plenty of names out there.

He's a big loss, but not insurmountable, especially with signing Hill back. They have a couple young guys that a lot of people considered close but didn't really get game reps with the DT health they had last year. Given the current roster status, Uzomah is the bigger loss for sure because I don't see Sample filling that roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be honest...none of those names are blowing me away. Saw one draft predictor say maybe they go after Jeremy Ruckert (OSU) in the 3rd round for that position.

CincySportsFan Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Was reminded last night that the Bengals will be getting some help on the D-line, without having to use the draft or sign a free agent, as Joseph Ossai will be coming back from his knee injury that made him miss the entire season last year. I had totally forgotten about him. Hopefully he can still be productive and give some rest to Hendrickson and Hubbard, who both seemed to be out there on each and every play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think Hubbard gets more reps at DT this year although that will likely be in passing situations. Who will be the 1st down run stuffing DT alongside Reader? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
