Options are pretty limited at this point. All they can do is cross their fingers. A trade is another option, but we all know how stingy the Bengals are with trades.
I'd get the Saints on the phone and ask them about Cesar Ruiz. He's signed through 2028, but his contract isn't structured in a way the Bengals love. Maybe the Saints can throw some cash in. Throw them a 3rd or 4th round pick?
They did drop the ball on this one - both in terms of free agents and the draft.
Brandon Thorn was on the Ross Tucker podcast recently and was raving about Tate Ratlege. Get him and Fairchild together and we have two starters and a long term solution. I like the Knight pick, but protecting the franchise is always the priority. Draft him and sign one of the better free agent guards for a year. Stop putzing around!
