2023 Free agency and trade thread

Ogunjobi failed his physical. Hope there’s a chance Bengals can bring him back.

Once I heard that he didnt have a trade market I kinda figured the Chiefs would grab him. Chiefs dont have a ton of cash. Great fit for Juju as he basically just has to beat out the WR formally known as Josh Gordon.

Rams and hoarding all the WRs

JuJu Smith-Schuster has signed with the Chiefs. Another weapon for Mahomes. JuJu along with Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce really opens up their offense. Can't wait to see them in action.

Unless he can convert to CB and cover for them, not concerned. Bengals still beat them 9/10 times.

Bengals will beat who? If you're talking about the Chiefs you're talking about the wrong division. The Bengals would only play the Chiefs once a year if at all

In general, Bengals will beat them time and again if/when they meet as currently constructed.

The Bengals don't play the Chiefs that often.

They're not in the same division. The Bengals are in the AFC North and the Chiefs are in the AFC West. The likelihood of teams from different divisions playing each other each year is rare. At most you'll see happen once every few years.

If the Chiefs just kick a FG before half they win 9/10 times. And the Chiefs CB they let leave couldn't cover Chase (and the Rams elite CB didnt really matter, either) so I dont really think CBs is that way to beat the Bengals.

Talk about a little success going to ones head.

Bengals had everything got right for them. Mahomes had his worst playoff game possibly of his career and they blew it at the end. I wouldn’t expect that every year. Bengals had a great season but missed their shot to win it….now look at the AFC. 10 teams deep

Lol. Its called drop back defense sir. The Browns can borrow our playbook and schemes sometime. It wont come back to bite anyone because its the Browns. A little gift from your neighbor

Only the Bills are a concern btw.

Bengals may not make the playoffs

I do think Bengals have as good a shot as anyone to win the AFC. But the Bucs, Titans and Bills have all had a game where they beat the $&@ out of the Chiefs. Bengals have two close wins. I don't really see the two close wins any differently than how the Chiefs matchup with the other teams.

Bengals, Browns, Ravens, Bills, and the entire AFC West seem like favorites. Thats 8 really good teams imo. I think Titans, Colts and New England could round that out to 11 if things break the right way.

Injuries took the Ravens out last year. (and the Packers in the NFC) They'll probably take someone out next year, too.

I hate to see teams hold players back through the start of free agency and then release them into a deflating market. At least Wagner got a full FA market opportunity.

Agreed. The Commies are one of the teams guilty of it--they cut DL Matt Ioannidis several days into free agency, after reportedly telling his agent that they'd keep him. Total screw job.

@Sharkonabicycle

That would be crazy, but smart. It would fit with "Pete won't rebuild" as Mayfield is a serious upgrade over Locke and considering how he's leaving the Browns, he'll come cheap.
