The #Cardinals also requested an interview with #Bengals OC Brian Callahan for their head coaching job, per source. Callahan also is a candidate for the #Colts job.

No but that's the issue he's gonna want #1 money and a team like NYG is gonna be willing to give it cause they won't get that player at 25 or whatever their pick is.
The Bengals can not afford to have the highest paid QB, highest paid WR and a top 5 paid WR. [Reply]
Should be an easy decision to pick Lou over Gannon. With that being said Arizona are idiots for picking a defensive head coach and should have signed EB. [Reply]

Correct. That's why it's a win/win. If he wants a bank, take the picks and move on. If he wants to be here, well, you don't wanna think about that... [Reply]

QBs win SBs. With a solid line, Burrow and the Bengals will be fine.
I'm gonna disagree with the "average defense" comment. The Cincy defense has not given up more than 23 points in a playoff game the last 2 seasons. Giving up less than 20 points per game across both playoff runs. I think that's a pretty big part of Cincy's playoff success the last couple years.
The Chiefs just won a Super Bowl where the defense gave up 35 points. They also won a playoff game last year where Buffalo scored 36 points. Let me know when Cincy wins any playoff games in that situation. They haven't needed to do it so far because the Cincy defense has done such a great job. [Reply]

He'd be a complete retard to not want to get the most money he can, he plays a position that is blowing up for contracts and the FA class sucks...I think he could rival the DaVante Adams contract. [Reply]

Agreed, but it’s going to come down to whether Cincinnati gets what they feel is fair value. Worst case is they hold on to him and he goes full Ramsey or Watson. [Reply]

They're going to regress. Bates will be gone. Pratt may be gone. Reader is getting up there in age.
Their focus needs to be on protecting Burrow so those 30+ shootouts are more likely to happen. [Reply]
