We gonna be drafting that kid to play D-line in about 12 years! Boy's got moves!

I know that I'm biased because he's probably my all time favorite player, but I hate not to see Greg Olsen on this list! Gronk, Kelce, Gonzalez, and Gates are obvious choices, but Greg was a beast as a blocker & catcher. Not everyone on this list can say that. Couldn't we put 1 more on the PS, please??

Happy Gilmore 2 is on the way as well. Live large!

Welcome to the club!

Save it for game day, lol

We're going to have several (4-5 by my count) rookie starters and several starters on D that were on other teams last year. They need a lot more preseason snaps, especially the rookies! NFL is a big jump from college ball. And as it has already been pointed out, we need to hit the ground running and win those early game!

Yep, it's a very sensible trade off. 1st rounders get 100% guaranteed and teams get the right to a 5th year option. Win Win. Don't fug it up for everybody Cincinnati!

Damn! Goose was 6'3" and 340 pounds! Big man needs 2 coach seats!

and Never, and I mean NEVER, tweet on oxy!

I think he was too much of a gamble for us at 8, or even them at 17. BUT, that doesn't matter. They took that gamble but don't want to ante up! Fug that! Nothing like pissing off you 1st round pick before he ever even suits up for practice, they're being idiots.

That's what makes this so absurd, 1st round contract SHOULD be fully guaranteed! The Bengals are the bad guys here. If they didn't want to guarantee is contract, don't pick him in the 1st!!!

I agree with everything you said, but wanted to highlight this because Renfrow seems, so far, to have remained relevant. I had no idea what he would look like after his year away, but this is a huge bonus for $1.2M. I am so excited for preseason! Also, I think XL gets better simply by not being our primary WR. Getting that pressure off may help "cure" his dropsies. Not to mention a second year in a NFL system should be good for him and everyone else.

Only when we play the Browns!

JJJ has been with the team so long he gives 0 fugs! Hell, Rhule DRAFTED his replacement and JJJ sent him packing.

He was drafted #17 overall.

THAT'S the trade! DJ for Shemar even-steven. I'll guarantee his full rookie contract, then let him vie for a backup role. He can only poison the locker room so much from the bench. If he becomes a beast...we win big. Not that they would agree to this, but it's about what I'm willing to give up for a cancerous turd.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to go into the season with 3 rookies and Jones, who hasn't ever been a "starter" before. Getting rid of DJ is deal breaker for me.

I see us winning 9-10 games, which very well be enough to clench the division. My bolder prediction is that our offense finishes top 10. There, I said it! This is based on Bryce's growth on the back half of last season and that every other group on offense has improved, except o-line which was pretty damned good to start with. Obviously, where Bryce goes...so goes our O. I also predict that our defense will NOT be bottom 10. That is a big step coming from the bottom of the barrel! DB is back, Wharton and BB3 are legit, mid-tier starters, and we brought in 3 upgrades at OLB. Safety was upgraded and CB basically stayed the same.

"I think it just talks about our team," Thielen replied. "We're a bunch of guys that want it, and I think guys are finally sick of being the same old, same old Carolina Panthers. I think we wanna get back to what they did here in the past—2015 and some of those other years when they had deep playoff runs and had the crowd involved and the city hyped up. We haven't had that. And I think that just shows that guys are kinda sick and tired of the same old, same old. And everything that this organization has done this offseason has pushed us towards that."

Same as every off-season:

Boy Howdy, I bet QBs / WRs love no pads days!

If that doesn't get you riled up, nothing will! With some of those hits and the hair, kinda reminds me of Troy Polamalu, not saying that he has the same talent, obviously.
