Mike Brown and Front office are selling to fans that they made a deal to stay in Hamilton Country. The problem is if they play in Cincinnati or some place else, their Defense still Stinks. Losing Hendrickson doesn't help. Not signing their #1 draft pick does not help. Not doing either means Last Place for Mike Brown who has been in last place many times and seems to like it there.
The one positive is Training Camp and Preseason has not started yet. It means more to the rookie draft pick. He needs coached up. Hendrickson could probably sign just before start of season and be OK, there isn't a lot Golden can teach him. The rookie however, if he misses Summer camp, don't expect him to do much until 2026. So again, Bengals Front Office has to Get With It or it is Last Place for our Bengals this season. Can not win with one of the worst defenses in NFL, and not having Hendrickson or the #1 pick signed isn't how to fix this awful defense.
To those that might say they have Burrow, Chase, Higgins, then I must ask, does any of those guys play defense ?
I also fail to see Mike Brown as money smart. If I was an owner willing to finish in last place, I could finish last a lot cheaper without paying Burrow, Chase or Higgins. Once I pay Burrow, Chase ad Higgins, I would pay some Defense to help win ball games. So I fail to see how Mike Brown is all that money smart if he does sign Hendrickson or the #1 draft pick.
