As free agency gets underway, the Cincinnati Bengals project to have new starters at a few different positions going into 2024.
One of those is right tackle, with Jonah Williams expected to hit the market and potentially find a new home. The same could be suggested about safety, where the Bengals don’t figure to let Dax Hill and Jordan Battle go unchallenged, with at least a veteran coming in to rotate a likely move.
In fact, that defense could be where the team sees the most change, with DJ Reader also slated for free agency.
Before the market really gets underway, here’s quick estimation of the technical starting lineup for the Bengals in 2024.
