The Brown family is cheaper than the Jones family. Taylor job is safe. I think he got an extension a few years ago. Good lord Dan Orlosky is kissing Burrow‘a bootie right now. It’s sickening…….

Few years ago, I would have agreed the Browns family is cheaper than Jerry but I'm not so sure now. There are cracks in the locker room and Chase needs a contract.

5. Zac Taylor, Cincinnati Bengals (Last ranking: 6th)

What an absolute waste of talent this team has been this year. Both quarterback Joe Burrow and receiver Ja'Marr Chase are having phenomenal seasons and they've been good enough to take some of the NFL's best teams right down to the wire.

Yet they constantly keep coming up short, like they did against the Chargers right before the bye, and the Ravens right before that (for the second time this season). Worse for Taylor, after they blew the end of the game against the Chargers, Chase was asked why the Bengals can't finish games. His answer: "I don't call plays for us."

That doesn't exactly exude confidence in his coach.

Their only hope now is to win at least five of their final six games, which at this point seems unreasonable to expect. When they fall short, owner Mike Brown has to take a hard look at Taylor and ask himself if he wants to waste another year of Burrow's career.

Taylor needs to go no doubt but there is no pressure to fire him. Cincinnati does not have a Cowboys type of fanbase or national media attention. They made the exact same mistake the Cowboys did with their star wide receivers and running back. Contracts killed them in the offseason.

Higgin was tagged and Chase is still waiting for his deal

Both of those guys were upset they didn’t get their deal. Again the Bengals are not the Cowboys so they get little coverage but the Bengals paid Burrow early and left the receivers out in the cold. You sound like you didn’t know that Chase almost didn’t play the first game this season because of his contract. The Bengals were a mess because of the contracts in the offseason. Very similar to the Cowboys.

If Jeanty is on the board when we pick, trade down for more picks

Dane just mocked Luther Burden to Dallas. We need to add him to the list. It will be interesting if Burden and Jeanty are on the board when Dallas picks.
