The offseason begins

Bengals have the second highest paid QB (tied with Allen and others), the highest paid WR 1 (highest paid non QB in the league), and the highest paid WR 2

And everyone else is shit. Except an edge rusher they’re probably going to trade.

Burrow and Chase pay whatever…you aren’t improving on them in any way. I wouldn’t be paying a WR2 that money when my team has so many needs.

They are going to have to have some unbelievable draft classes to be a contender.

It doesn;t help that Baltimore is in their division and Pittsburgh isn't a pushover.

Burrow and Chase holding tbe bengals hostage and forcing them to give Higgins that contract is a thing of beauty. Love to see it as a Bills fan. Hopefully next they leverage a record the deal Cook wants for Chase Brown.

What's going to be funny/tragic is when Burrow gets killed behind their O-line year after year. He's going to get Carson Palmer-ed. (or David Carr-ed).

As an aside: I know that AAV =/= cap in the NFL. Trust me, I get it. But the Bengals are putting out an AAV of ~$125M for a QB and 2 WRs. On a cap of $280M. That's ~45%. Now, I get that the cap numbers will be lower for a bit.

But they're still going to be unable to stop anyone....or keep Burrow upright.....or run the ball that well........

Interesting that Joe Burrow apparently needs weapons galore to have a top offense. Anyone that wants to put Burrow near Allen’s level, exhibit A of why thats wrong
 
I am very curious if any studies have ever been done about The efficacy of paying #2 WR big dollars when you are already paying your #1 WR and QB. And what the drop is if you simply plug in lets say a 1st/2nd day drafted WR into that slot.

Can any team had success spending this much on QB/WRs as a % of the cap. I'm assuming not. Spending 70M on one position is problematic. Especially with all of them last year they weren't even a top 5 offense.

I can't imagine you are going to get more than 100-200 more yards total a season on having the best #2 WR in the business and just one you draft in the 1st round with the pick you traded him for. It doesn't take a superstar to play opposite a superstar #1 WR.

The hilarious part for me is that the Bills scored 53 more points than the Bengals last year and we still have fans and media that feel like the Bills need a big money Alpha WR1.

If last year didn't show people that you don't need a big name WR1 to have an elite NFL offense, nothing will.

For me, building the offense around QB1 and the OL is the way to go.

Yup, and always had to have elite weapons to perform. If you’re a franchise qb, you don’t need 70 million tied up in your top two WRs.

The Eagles won the Super Bowl with weapons, just sayin'

Maybe we get Hendrickson out of this although I dont see Brown trading with AFC
