That’s insane. They’re going to have a QB, two WRs and nothing else.

It's what Joe wanted.

Is this the Peyton Reggie and Marvin of this generation

You're surely not wrong for seeing a comparison there.

The Colts had the Patriots as a stumbling block to appearing in more Super Bowls in the 2000s and it appears the Bengals have the Chiefs (and themselves) as roadblocks to another one now.

They have the cap space, next year they have over 140m in cap space but also have 40 less players under contract. This has not been updated on over the cap yet for those increases to the WR room. Either way they need cheaper talent in other places.

They can definitely manipulate the cap to make things work to fill the roster, the problem comes with Mike Brown who is notoriously cheap. Will he be willing to fork over the millions in signing bonuses every year it will require to manipulate the cap?

I'm in agreement that the Bengals have overpaid for both their vet WR's....but, good lord, will there ever be a better 2 WR's on a college team than JJ and Chase? If there has I haven't seen them.....

LSU is pretty much wide receiver university

LSU is putting out some crazy WR combos;
Odell/Landry
JJ/Chase
Nabers/Thomas

Agreed, but JJ/Chase combo is miles better than the others, they are both HOF level talents.....and if they don't get injured will likely wind up being in the top 10 all time WR's.....

well deserved and congrats especially to chase, he is different! he deserved every single penny!

Then nobody should feel bad if he gets sacked 60 times and has to score 40 points to win.

This seems close to reality.
