You cannot make up how stupid people are.  Wyatt Teller?  Really?  The Bengals will be on their 3847857393rd line combination in 3 seasons but somehow they found a Pro Bowler playing on his third team in less than 2 seasons?  Sure they did.

if anything, Cody Ford is a mauler in the run game

and the Bengals are a run dominated offense

 

what could go wrong?

His inability to handle any kind of pass rush could end Joe Burrow's season/career?  Perrine left and Mixon may be done as well.  I don't know what their plans are to run the football going forward.  They're not going to be the same as last year, at least not out of the gate.

could be trouble

since he run blocks as bad as he pass blocks,

which is not a lot and not very good

The Performance-Based Pay program is a collectively bargained benefit that compensates all players, including rookies, based upon their playing time and salary levels.

Which job is harder? Sports journalism or being a customer retention officer at DirecTV?

 

Tough call.

Counterpoint: Burrow is used to it.

29 years old? How long does that last? Not saying no. Just wondering.

It’s a fair concern since he wants a long term deal. If they were to make a deal I would suspect they’d structure a deal where they could get out of it in 2 years. 
 

But 2-3 seasons with Henry and Josh and Diggs would be pretty deadly.

  Offer a 3rd this year and a conditional 2024 pick.  Something like a 4th that could become a 3rd depending on 2023 production and availability.

  What he wants and what he may get will most likely be two different things.  I think Beane is smart enough not to mortgage the future in terms of a contract and neither will the Dolphins, Eagles, or any other team that mat be interested.

And he might want a championship more.
