He shut TJ Watt out last year.

Brown played left tackle for the Patriots. Watt rushes the other side.

Watt was never shut out in either game vs. the Bengals in the game in the first game at Cincy Watt had 5 tackles 2 sacks and 1 tackle for loss. At Pittsburg in Dec. Watt had 3 tackles and 1 sack.

I am asking MaddenCurse who the NE right tackle was that shut Watt out.

I think they had a revolving door at RT last year but I believe Conor McDermott was the starter when they played Pittsburgh.  Also, Watt moves all around the line so he probably did have snaps against Brown.

Bowers will go in the top 15.

This is sad but when it comes to the Bengals I am not surprised: 

Katie Blackburn, the Bengals’ executive vice president, recently revealed that negotiations for Chase’s contract extension “haven’t started” yet. This admission has stirred concerns among fans and pundits alike. In an era where strategic signings and player happiness dictate the trajectory of a team, delays in securing key players can have far-reaching implications. Blackburn’s comments, though cautious, hint at a complex negotiation landscape.

The organization is keen on “studying up” and ensuring the best outcome for the team. Yet, the clock is ticking, and with each passing day, the anxiety mounts.

It’s a scenario that Cincinnati avoid at all costs. The team’s reluctance to allow Chase to hit the open market is understandable. Yet, the strategy of waiting for market conditions to set the tone, particularly with Justin Jefferson’s pending deal with the Minnesota Vikings, is fraught with risks.

I am afraid because of how Brown and the Bengals have operated before with pretty much every player beside Burrow.  If they let him hit the open market at the end of next season (2025) they will no way match what he will get offered. If they wait and see or let the Jefferson deal go first they are probably going to have to play even more than if they just go on and do it now and lock him in into the future. imo They have almost $60 million in cap space. The team is currently scheduled to have more than $59.4 million in 2024 salary cap space, fourth most in the league, according to overthecap.com. They in my humble opinion need to get this done this offseason.
