INbengalfan Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Reiff is finally signed. Shefter reported. Opens things up a bit in the draft. If Sewell is there, I still take him and slide one of the presumed starting tackles to OG. If he's not, Chase and maybe Pitts in play at 5, or a trade back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a little more free to just draft the player they see that fits the team. I'd say they still need a WR, and probably a DE. Definitely some WR's still out there. Not sure about DE's. Good signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 This is big. We still need a couple of legit guards but this opens up the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 And OG's, obviously. But that won't be a target at #5 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But quite a few who may be around at pick 38. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Now go sign Larry Warford and Trai Turner so we can draft Chase at 5 or trade back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sewell isn't a guard and Jonah is better at pass blocking than run blocking so he doesn't look like he'd make a good guard. Reiff said Bengals said he'd be at RT. XSF is more of a pass blocker than run blocker while Spain if we re-sign him is the opposite. Both can play LG and RG. I wonder about Warford and why he hasn't gotten more discussion. He opted out of last season so maybe people think he's retiring. He should be set for life financially but he's only 29. Maybe he's gone up to 400 lbs or dropped to 260. Trai Turner isn't old either and had several very good seasons in Carolina before falling off in 2019. Then he got traded to San Diego and stunk last year, although he was playing hurt. If we signed either, I'd want a pretty thorough medical exam and for Warford would tie a good bit of his pay to participating in the offseason program to get back in football shape.

theJ Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 One year deal for Reiff. I'd say Tackle is still an option at #5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 That's a bit surprising. At his age, I would think Reiff would want to get 3-4 years locked in. Also a lot cheaper than I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Yeah, I'm surprised Reiff signed that deal. Less than 2 mil more than Hart? Great deal for the team, though a longer term would have been nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INbengalfan Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 2 years with a voidable year. My guess is player option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Theoretically, couldn't the Bengals just franchise him next year if they wanted to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
