CB Howard Misses Practice

Yes. Sell high and replace with cheaper. Get more cap space. We knew he was going to keep asking for more money. We knew we would soon not be able to afford he and Jones. We knew both were getting older and would start to break down.

Pro Bowl caliber CB are some of the most valuable assets on the field. You don’t just trade them away with the assumption you’re going to get another one.
 
Howard always starts slow and is injured, he will have his 8-10 interceptions at the end of the year.
 
If you can't beat the Jets with your backups then you're probably not a playoff team. Howard or no.. it shouldn't change the end result.

We didn’t take advantage of the Bengals weak OL. Burrow was being sacked left and right except when he faced us.

I still think that battle against the Bills was the biggest reason we didn't take advantage of that O line.

We don't know how badly the dude's injured. It's hard enough as it is to play at a high level. Much harder if you have a hammy or groin pull. As for moving on, we know he's getting up there, but he still has plenty of gas left in the tank. With the salary cap, etc., we can't upgrade all of our positions every off-season. Sometimes, a guy who is better is not available, or we don't have the extra money. We aren't competing in a vacuum. Other teams are trying to sign and upgrade their team, too. Considering this, I thought Grier has done a decent job because even thou Hill was expensive, he is proving it was worth the investment.

Grier has done a great job, being hurt comes with the territory but when your play making skills aren't there and you're getting penalties that could lose games for the team, he is a good player but he's not playing good, if he is hurt go to the next guy, a hurt Howard does this team no good on the field.
 
We can not cut Howard anytime soon. The cap hit on a post June cut would be almost 10mill with only 100K savings for 2023. In 2024 the dead money would be over 7mill but the savings would be over 18mill. We have to hope that he can stay healthy most of the time but right now that's looking like a ton of money and not the best contract.
