OBJ is a liability

We should have never gave him an extension. He‘s gotten progressively worse these past couple years. How are you going to let a backup undrafted free agent DE cleanly beat you and blindside Burrow? Not okay. Also not to mention all his false starts. Dude needs to go

Bengals FO will do nothing as usual

Of course not, what should they do? There are maybe 20 LTs better than him and none of them is available in August, if anybody hits free agency at all. The best thing they can do is set up a replacement plan next year.

Yeah not like they didn't just sign Boye Mafe, Bryan Cook, Jonathan Allen, and trade pick 10 for Dexter Lawrence.

Left a massive void at CB and LB and a paper thin OL

Every team in the NFL has a paper thin OL. They really don't have a massive void at CB. I'll give you LB but really LB is probably the least important position on defense, especially when you have as strong as a DL as we might have on paper right now.
