The offseason for the Cincinnati Bengals couldn’t be any clearer.
Any action in free agency and around the draft will be centered on building around quarterback Joe Burrow, 2020’s top overall draft pick who had a promising rookie year cut short by a knee injury.
The Cincinnati Bengals on Friday released guard B.J. Finney, ending a year of confusion, fear and physical limitations for the former $8 million player. Finney struggled to properly train last.

Even though the Bengals didn’t get to see Burrow in a full season, director of player personnel Duke Tobin said they witnessed enough to make him the cornerstone of the team’s progress as free agency approaches.
’I think we’ve got one of the premier, best young quarterbacks in the game, and we’re going to do everything we can to build around him and give him the opportunity to really shine and show what he can do,’ Tobin said Monday in his first media availability in nearly a year. ’It’s going to start with him.’
In 10 games, Burrow displayed flashes of brilliance, completing 65.3% of his passes for 2,688 yards with 13 touchdowns and five interceptions.
Atlantic city now. With salary cap flexibility (the exact amount remains to be determined, but it should be around $30 million as of Monday) and the No. 5 overall draft pick, here are three ways Cincinnati can build around its young franchise quarterback.Make the most of the fifth overall pick
Given their needs after a four-win season, the Bengals should have at least one good option when they are on the clock in April’s draft. The most obvious selection is Oregon left tackle Penei Sewell, whom ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. has going to Cincinnati in his latest mock draft. Tobin suggested the franchise believes 2019 first-round pick Jonah Williams, who has battled injuries in two seasons, has shown flashes of being a solid left tackle when healthy. If the Bengals select Sewell, they could place him at right tackle, which he played in high school.
But the Bengals should have a couple of good options even if Sewell is off the board. LSU’s Ja’Marr Chase could give Burrow a dynamic receiving option on the outside of the formation. Florida tight end Kyle Pitts and Alabama wide receiver DeVonta Smith are also projected to be top 10 picks. Any of those options should immediately give Burrow and Cincinnati’s offense a boost.
There’s also a case for trading down if the right player isn’t available. And with several holes across the roster, Cincinnati could use a couple of extra draft picks. Tobin didn’t rule out the possibility of swapping the No. 5 overall pick for more picks under the right conditions.
’There’s two different things we look at,’ Tobin said Monday. ’Are we getting compensation that we want? And are we getting a level of player that we feel good about passing up the current player that we would be selecting? We will go through that process.’Sign a guard in free agency
Regardless of what happens at the top of the draft, Cincinnati needs to find a solid offensive guard. The Bengals tried to patch that spot in the middle of the 2020 season by adding former Bills lineman Quinton Spain. He ranked 46th among 70 qualifying players in Pass Block Win Rate as a guard (ESPN metric powered by NFL Next Gen). Michael Jordan, who was benched after Burrow suffered his season-ending knee injury, ranked 65th.
New Cincinnati assistant Frank Pollack will be tasked with making the most of Cincinnati’s offensive line. A player such as New England’s Joe Thuney could improve the unit immediately.
Tobin said a combination of improved health and added experience should help the offensive line improve. But he conceded that they will look at adding a guard.
’It’s a group that we’re focused on,’ Tobin said of the offensive line. ’We’re always focused on it, but that group in particular will be an important group for us.’Add a dynamic wide receiver
If the Bengals draft Sewell or opt to trade down at the beginning of the draft, they will still need to find an outside receiver to pair with slot standout Tyler Boyd and second-year player Tee Higgins. After missing all of 2019 with an ankle injury, A.J. Green was unable to find the form that made him a seven-time Pro Bowler and merited a one-year trial on an expensive franchise tag in 2020.
Cincinnati’s wide receivers averaged 2.4 yards per separation when targeted, according to NFL Next Gen, which ranked last in the league. On throws of 10 or more air yards, the average separation dropped to 1.9 yards. Only the Indianapolis Colts’ receivers were worse.
Some of that falls on Burrow, who admittedly was lackluster with his deep balls in an otherwise remarkable rookie season. But the Bengals still need at least one more outside receiver to bolster a group led by Higgins and Auden Tate, who is coming off shoulder surgery.
When it comes to overall activity in free agency, Tobin suggested the Bengals will be busy after the normally risk-averse franchise agreed to deals worth well over $150 million last offseason.
’We’re going to see what comes our way,’ Tobin said Monday. ’We want to attack our team needs through the draft, through free agency, through re-signing our own players, through development of young players that we have. We are certainly not going to sit on our hands.’
CINCINNATI -- Hearing Frank Pollack speak about the Cincinnati Bengals’ top priority this offseason is like hearing an exasperated receptionist manning a busy phone line.
The go-to phrase for the new Bengals offensive line coach is ’Line 1,’ a piece of throwback verbiage he repeated often in his first press conference. And that line is so loud it might as well be screaming through a megaphone.
This offseason, building an offensive line that can protect quarterback Joe Burrow is the most pressing priority. That’s why Cincinnati brought Pollack back after a first coaching stint that ended in 2018.
And when it comes to keeping the franchise quarterback upright in 2021, it’s going to take everyone from the front office to Burrow himself to making sure that unit improves.
’We’ve got a good, young quarterback,’ Pollack said on Jan. 11, shortly after he was hired. ’We’ve got to do everything we can to protect him. That’s Line 1.’
Burrow’s rookie year illustrated the worst-case scenario when the protection isn’t sufficient.
On Nov. 22, months of wincing while watching Burrow in the pocket ended when he was sandwiched by two Washington defenders at the end of a pass. Burrow tore the ACL and MCL ligaments in his left knee and also suffered damage to his PCL and meniscus, sources told ESPN. The promising year for 2020’s top overall draft pick was officially over.
By the end of the season, the Bengals’ issues with pass protection were impossible to ignore.
Cincinnati finished 29th in Pass Block Win Rate, an ESPN metric powered by NFL Next Gen Stats. It was a stark contrast from the their Run Block Win Rate, which ranked 11th.
Some of the issues stemmed from injuries over the course of the season, including the loss of starting left tackle Jonah Williams to a knee injury. And Burrow can also be faulted for some of the hits he took in a year filled with on-the-job training during a pandemic.
Take the Bengals’ 27-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5, for example. Burrow was sacked seven times and Burrow finished with 183 passing yards, no touchdowns and one interception. After the game, Burrow acknowledged the need to balance between being a playmaker and hanging on to the ball for a little too long.
’There are always plays to be had and I consider myself a playmaker and I didn’t make any today that brought us down the field,’ Burrow said. ’I did hold the ball a little too long sometimes.’
But the majority of the issues had little to do with Burrow. Even without the injuries, Cincinnati had limited stability with its offensive line.
After the injury, left guard Michael Jordan made one more start but was eliminated from the rotation. Guard Alex Redmond, who flirted with a stint at right guard, was benched in favor of Quinton Spain, a midseason signee.Cincinnati Bengals Website
And among the issues surrounding former offensive line coach Jim Turner, who was not retained after two seasons, was the inability to field a consistent five-man unit.
Cincinnati quickly pulled the plug on working seventh-round pick Hakeem Adeniji at tackle, a move that could hurt a rookie’s confidence long term. Billy Price played three different positions either in practice or in games before returning as the backup center, where was projected to play as a first-round pick in 2018.
Even offseason addition Xavier Su’a-Filo went from being benched once he returned from a foot injury to playing left guard after being the Week 1 starter at right guard.
While no player was directly critical of Turner or the constant shuffling, any cohesiveness was usually cited as a key point for the unit’s improvement at points in the season.
’Having to be put in a lot of situations guys have been put in at this point, it’s unfortunate and it’s not the best situation by far,’ starting center Trey Hopkins said on Dec. 10. ’Everybody knows that. You’d rather have guys be set in one spot and play that spot and be comfortable, but that’s not how it’s played out for us.’
Ultimately, Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor had no viable option aside from parting ways with Turner, whom he has known and worked with at several stops.
’I thought that (the offensive line) had some really good moments and I think Jim is a really good football coach,’ Taylor said of Turner. ’When your record is what your record is nothing was ever good enough.’
Turner’s tinkering also indicated what the Bengals might do with the No. 5 overall pick in the NFL draft. Cincinnati evaluated its options behind right tackle Bobby Hart, much as it did in 2019 at quarterback before drafting Burrow.
The Bengals will have a couple of intriguing options at tackle. Cincinnati could take Oregon’s Penei Sewell, who ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. compared to Bengals legend Anthony Muñoz in his latest mock draft. Or the Bengals could snag Northwestern’s Rashawn Slater, who is viewed as another strong prospect.Buffalo Bills Website
But no matter what the Bengals do in the draft or in free agency, ’Line 1’ will always be blinking until Cincinnati can prove it can protect Burrow, who is tasked with leading the franchise to its first playoff berth since 2015.
When Pollack met with Taylor about the job, that came up in their conversation. And he knows that no matter the team, there’s nothing more important than protecting the guy behind center.Official Cincinnati Bengals Website
’You’ve got to protect your quarterback,’ Pollack said. ’That’s what everyone is trying to always constantly get better at and striving.’
