Well just about the entire OLine is a FA and could possibly move on. They would need to really hit in FA.

Find a WR1? With who? Not sure there’s 1 out there unless they make a trade. Bengals have 2 WR1s which isn’t normal.

They also would need to get lucky in the playoffs. Not saying the Bengals didn’t earn the right to be there but the tacks sacked Burrow like 9 times and still won. Mahomes had his worst half of football ever and they won. 

But hey. I’m here for the ride if it happens!

I see the offensive line from a different viewpoint.  If you look at the starters, Linder and Taylor are under contract.  Bartch started most of the year and outplayed Cann.  I consider Bartch to be our starting guard and he's under contract.  While Cam Robinson is a free agent, we could use the franchise tag on him.  He's back if we want him back.  That leaves Norwell as the only starter who might choose to leave.  Walker Little, a backup but one who many think should start, is also under contract.  It's true that we have a number of backups as free agents, but don't see that as a big deal.  It would be easy for the team retain most of last year's starting line if that's what they wanted.
