from Locked On Bengals - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Bengals · host Locked On Podcast Network

The Cincinnati Bengals face a pivotal offseason as contract strategy and roster building are once again at the forefront. The Bengals must modernize front office practices, and return to 2021 and 2022's free agency aggression to fill out the roster. Jake Liscow and James Rapien spotlight how conservative salary cap management, inactive free agencies, and delayed extensions have cost the Bengals on the field. Discussions include restructuring Burrow’s deal, freeing cap space, and letting go of the fantasy of "sustainability."Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
