If they want to back up new head coach Zac Taylor’s statements about being forward-thinking, the Bengals need to build off last offseason and continue evolving their team-building process this year.Let’s take a look at some of the best ways for the Bengals to prove they are serious about establishing a winning culture. 1. Nail the remaining coaching hiresThe Bengals still have two huge hires that they have to make and they have to get them right if they want to succeed: defensive coordinator and offensive line coach. The reported candidates for defensive coordinator are slightly concerning with Dom Capers emerging as the favorite; however, they could still get it right with a hire out of the blue. They were previously linked to Bill Callahan coming from Washington to become their offensive line coach, but recent reports state that Jim Turner is now the preferred candidate. There’s still time to get these hires right, but these two would not instill the most confidence.2. Be aggressive in free agencyThe Bengals have two major needs at offensive tackle and linebacker. It would be best if both of these positions were comfortably filled before the NFL Draft so they wouldn’t have to play rookies in those spots. The market for offensive tackle isn’t as strong as it is at linebacker, but there are a handful of players who the Bengals could afford to man the right edge of their offensive line. At linebacker, there are several impact players for the Bengals to choose from, C.J. Mosley of the Ravens being the cream of the crop. Addressing both of these positions by signing quality starters would go a long way of establishing a different culture.3. Draft immediate impact playersThe Bengals did well with this last year Carl Lawson Jersey , drafting starters with their first two picks and a heavy rotational player with one of their third-round picks in Sam Hubbard. If the Bengals want to continue to show that they are serious about winning, they should continue to draft players that can make immediate impacts. They should, however, not be sacrificing talent at the same time. The Bengals cannot reach for a player, but they cannot afford to draft players to sit on the bench for most of their rookie contract either. The Bengals need to find the best mix of need and value.4. Continue to explore the trade marketIt is not clear yet what players are on the trade block for every team, but rumors always pop up and the Bengals should not be afraid of making another trade like they did last year when the acquire Cordy Glenn. The Patriots got their left tackle Trent Brown, who played all season for them in a trade that cost them almost nothing, and the Bengals themselves upgraded left tackle by simply dropping nine spots in the first round. There have been rumors that the Bengals may be interested in moving on from Andy Dalton and bringing on Ryan Tannehill which could net the Bengals positive value through trades. If there is a player who a team is trying to trade who would fill a need for the Bengals they should try to acquire them. Look heavily at linebackers that teams are not happy with or on teams that are trying to tank Womens Michael Johnson Jersey , and most importantly be aggressive. Can the Bengals’ defensive coordinator convince some of his former players to play for him in Cincinnati?"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections #BITESIZEFilm RoomRoster Transactions and ContractsOrange & Black InsiderSalary Cap And CBABreaking NewsKeep track of the 2019 Bengals draft脳2 free agents Lou Anarumo could lure to the BengalsNew,41commentsCan the Bengals’ defensive coordinator convince some of his former players to play for him in Cincinnati?ESTShareTweetShareShare2 free agents Lou Anarumo could lure to the BengalsRobert Deutsch-USA TODAY SportsThe Bengals have yet to completely fill out their coaching staff, but they made an all-important hire last week. Lou Anarumo is in the fold as Cincinnati’s defensive coordinator, and brings a past relationship with head coach Zac Taylor along with 30 years of coaching experience along with him. There’s nowhere for the Bengals’ defense to go but up with Anarumo now running the unit, but improvement cannot be achieved without notable additions in personnel — something the Bengals’ newest coach can help with, even if only slightly.Anarumo’s former employer, the New York Giants, happen to have a couple players scheduled to become free agents next month that were coached by Anarumo last season. Unless the Bengals decide to become much more aggressive in free agency this year Jonah Williams Cincinnati Bengals Jersey , one of them is far more likely to sign with the team than the other one.B.W. Webb, Cornerback: How the Bengals handle their situation with Darqueze Dennard is the most interesting subplot to their free agency plans. Dennard is likely to receive a contract similar to that of what Tavon Young received from the Ravens, but what if the Bengals decide that’s too pricey? Cincinnati could find Dennard’s replacement on the open market, and who better than a guy who had success under Anarumo?Webb has experience lining up outside, but ProFootballFocus.com had this note about Weeb through 10 weeks of the season when he lined up as the nickel cornerback:While his overall grade only has him as the 77th ranked cornerback in the NFL, he could adequately fill a hole in the defense — not to mention help the transition to a new defensive coordinator. There is also a chance this could be the preferred series of events for this new Bengals staff that has no ties to Dennard. It also helps that Webb isn’t viewed as a premium free agent, which means it could help the ever-important compensatory equation come next offseason for Cincinnati.Landon Collins, Safety: The Bengals signing Collins would really prove that a drastic shift has taken place inside Paul Brown Stadium. It is far more likely that a team will throw plenty of guaranteed money at Collins Jonah Williams Jersey 2019 , and the Bengals have never been prone to that behavior.On the football side of things, Collins would provide some serious versatility that the Bengals are lacking. He played more of a safety and linebacker hybrid in New York, which helps slow down those easy short yardage passes that have been plaguing the NFL (and especially the Bengals) lately.The Bengals seem to have their starters entrenched at both safety positions with Jessie Bates and Shawn Williams, so Collins would presumably be signing on as a linebacker, which he may not agree to do. There is also the very real possibility that the Giants use the franchise tag on Collins, which would eliminate any possibility of the Bengals attempting to pry him away. Would you like to see the Bengals pursue either of these players in free agency?
