yeah, I don't see any way that Norman, Reed, Kerrigan and Paul Richardson stay on the roster under their current contacts, for starters. I think Trent SHOULD be traded, but not sure what ends up happening there.

At the very least Norman and Richardson have to

Richardson, Reed, Norman, Vernon Davis (probably will just retire anyway), Montae Nicholson all good as gone if you ask me.

Kerrigan's consecutive start streak is a testament to the fact that he's the kind of character Rivera would like to build around culture-wise, so I bet he sticks. He's going to be a declining player but his hard working mindset is an asset to Rivera. You might be able to get him at a reduced cap number but this year we have so much cap space that I'm not even worried about it.

And Trent has the pot history but he also has supreme talent and Rivera has been said to be making retaining Trent one of his top priorities. He will likely go with the blank slate mindset. If you come back we wipe it all clean and start fresh together.

I know Trent is one strike away from a year suspension but honestly it was so long ago I really don't consider that to be a major factor. If he really was this massive stoner in the vein of Ricky Williams or Eugene Monroe I don't think we'd be talking about it like it's a matter of when, not if. People seem to forget Trent was a team leader and a captain before he left. Those are titles you get by earning the trust of your teammates.

Also anybody who's read about the way Ryan Kerrigan prioritizes taking care of his body would realize that's exactly the kind of team leader Rivera would love. I

If the Bengals pass on Burrows they would the dumbest team in NFL history. There’s no way they pass on this kid.

[Ruhskins]

Honestly, it would not surprise me if Kerrigan signs a very team-friendly deal to stay with the team.

Also, although a bit unrelated, I have hunch that (if he is able to play again) Alex Smith will re-work his contract to lessen his contract's cap hit for next year.

Hopefully last night puts to bed this silliness of the Bengals passing on Burrow

No chance they pass on him

[Chico23231]

So that trade with the giants is a no-go now?

From the perspective here in Columbus, Ohio, I can say it is now 100% sure that the Bungles will pick Burrow. A southern Ohio boy who is a Heisman winner, National Champion, broke every NCAA quarterback record on the books and is an eloquent spokesperson ...... they have to take him. Fans would burn down the Bengals headquarters if they passed on him.

He's the real deal as long as he stays this hungry. I'd take him over Haskins and that's not a knock against Dwayne.

To a certain extent I think he is a product of the system at LSU. He had 3 great receivers all of whom have speed and are willing to go up and "get the ball" plus a great tight end. Burrow himself has said he throws to receivers who appear to be covered because he knows his guys know how to "go get the ball". I think his first year or two in Cincinnati will be tough until they get him a core of great receivers around him. Clearly he is a gifted QB with a high level of "football intelligence". But at LSU he was in a perfect system for his talents. I think he will struggle in his early NFL years until the Bengals put enough talent around him. And since it is the Bengals whose front office would make Bruce Allen seem competent, there will be some questions about whether they can build a team around him.

He's the best QB in the history of that program and that is saying something seeing they have been around forever. The guys pocket awareness and movement is as good as it gets, he's accurate and his arm is strong enough (which is the most overrated attribute).

[MTK]

Aren't most big program QB's in a great system and surrounded by a lot of talent?

[Chico23231]

Joe Brady was a big difference scheme wise, but he also let Burrow actually make more decisions pre snap and gave him autonomy at the line...something he never woulda had at OSU. Trusting in Burrow was the smart move which led LSU to a title. With this one year with Joe Brady...he's 1000 more times ready than say Haskins.
