  1. Is Katie competent to do anything correctly? At this point, I’m wondering. How TF do those WR deals stop us from getting free agents.

  2. The LEAST likely scenario is the county & the bengals pumping $1B – $2B into Paycor. Most likely they leave. Second most likely, brand new stadium. Least likely will be renovation. It’s pretty obvious.

  3. Our ownership has proven once and once again how they always falls short in every regard… And when they have the opportunity to help the best generation of bengals players that they ever going to have they ruin it again… so thank you Brown family to create this team… but now this creation is bigger than yours, time to move and let somebody (not name Elon Musk) take this team not to one but to several super bowls…

  4. The "Art Modell Law" in Ohio (Ohio Revised Code § 9.67) prevents professional sports teams from moving to a new city or stadium without first negotiating with their host city or giving them six months' notice and an opportunity to buy the team.

  5. Bengals ownership doesn’t care about Cincinnati Bengals fans. They care about making money. One good thing about Cincinnati is they can produce a mediocre team and still make a lot of money.

  6. There's a much bigger picture hear I think. The NFL doesn't want Burrow, Chase, and Higgins playing in a small market. They would rather have them in a bigger market on a bigger stage. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the NFL's plan.

  7. “The Bengals are cheap because they spent too much money WR”
    Yeah… ok. Say that again slowly.
    “It’s not that they don’t spend”
    Then stop saying they are cheap.
    Say they aren’t aggressive enough. They are risk averse.

  8. There are not only other areas in Ohio that would welcome the team, there are other states. The first that comes to mind is San Antonio who has wanted a team for a long time.

  9. I am confident that the 2 parties will eventually get a deal done. It's just going to come down to the last minute. Ultimately, it behooves both parties to get the stadium agreement that is mutually beneficial.
