Who cares about stats, they lose more than they win. Those numbers can be garbage time stats when teams will let you go down the field to keep the clock running.

I agree that the wins are way more important than the stats, but to give the offense credit, they have been in super close, high scoring 1-score games like 7 times this season. Those stats aren’t coming from garbage time.

If I’m guessing, I would say Tee is gonna be around 3 yrs/$25 mil per year and JC is going at 4 yrs/$40 mil per year. Now how much will be guaranteed, I’ll bet at least 75%. And if they don’t resign Tee, then they need to make a big defensive signing.

Chargers, Bills, and Chiefs all let their wrs walk and now they’re spending significant picks to get receiving threats to replace them… all have spent a first and a second on receiving threats along with a multitude of signings in free agency. The bengals do not have the picks to fool with trying to replace tee. They have failed at replacing every other big free agent they’ve let walk. They can sign tee, they can sign Jamarr, and they can still easily have 100 mil in cap space left to spend. This is a no brainer for any other team. You have to pay your studs. Especially young players in their prime. Those teams I mentioned let those guys leaves when they were all 30 or older and they’re still feeling the ramifications with their offensive production. Tee is only 25. Don’t be dumb. Pay the man. Him and Jamarr have proven they can take us to the Super Bowl. They can do it again.

I watch every day.Appreciate your content. Disagree on roster though. Cappa, Hill, Hubbard, CTB and several others have struggled this season after playing their rolls at championship level a couple years ago. They arent old enough to have fallen off a cliff. Only Orlando Brown JR and Tre Hendrickson started this year ready to go. If Zack is sticking around he needs to acknowledge that he has to figure the not being ready thing out. If its a roster problem we cant ever be confident one season to the next because pro bowl caliber guys can just forget how to play in one off season. Has to be the way coaches are preparing.
@joshuacampbell4008Күн бұрын
Man, I understand everybody wants the Bengals to tank the rest of their season so they can get better draft capital, but if there's anything I can promise you that is absolutely not going to happen, Zack. Taylor and the rest of the coaching staff are probably coaching for their jobs. So to them, having a better record to keep their job is way more important than getting better. Draft picks, so the draft order if the season ended Today is irrelevant because it's not over today not to mention the players currently on the roster who are starters, especially on defense. Are trying to prove that they are worth keeping around next season.

Name one team that committed that high of a percentage of their cap to QB and WR and won a Super Bowl? Just name one. You won’t be able to. You in fact do get better by letting your best players walk away in their prime if that player is your WR 2. Your chance to win with that luxury is while they’re on a rookie deal. Missed that window. You’ll get a 3rd round comp pick back, and then a chance to commit that money elsewhere. If your team knows how to draft, then that’s where you fill out the depth chart on a position with an already high cap allocation. Literally no team in history has ever paid that much money to their WRs, while their star QB is also getting paid and won the Super Bowl. You rarely see it with one expensive WR, let alone 2.

@@stephenaddison4727 You missed the point entirely. Pats had Brady on a team friendly deal and Wes Welker was never that large % of the cap like what Chase and Higgins would be. Colts might be the exception but you can already see how rare that is, and that’s with Antoine Bethea on a rookie deal and the year right before Bob Sanders and Dwight Freeney getting paid. Bengals don’t have that level of defensive talent on cheap deals. The Chiefs had Mahomes and Kelce both underpaid and so was Hill until the year he was traded, that’s the entire reason he got traded. There’s plenty of teams with two great WRs and a QB that won. Doing that after they’ve gotten paid is what doesn’t happen because the rest of your roster isnt good. Burrow, Chase, and Higgins would all be on non-team friendly deals and unless you think they’re giving you some hometown discount, it’s not possible. The Bengals in all likelihood aren’t the exception. You saying “we have no one else to pay” is laughable because you should be using that money on more valuable free-agents in terms of position needs.

GM Joe Burrow lol. Need stop worrying about draft position. The only reason I believe a NFL team should tank for a high pick is if it's for a Franchise QB. The Bengals have that... I saw a mock draft with the assumption Bengals would lose Higgins and pick a WR in 1st RD. This does not improve the team. Based on Burrow's comments I am going to assume Burrow is willing to restructure his contract if the Organization agrees to use the restructured contract money to resign Higgins. There are several good safety's in the 2025 FA Market. The Bengals don't need a great defense. They just need a defense similar to Arizona. Arizona has a very underrated defense with very lil elite player's. This is the kind of Defense the Bengals could build.
