According to Miami Dolphins News
BREAKING: Source: The Bengals have offered Saints LT Terron Armstead a contract. Armstead is currently mulling offers from the Bengals and Dolphins. Expect a decision in the next 24 hours.

Personally I’d prefer Collins over Armstead due to cost and injury history, but I’d be happy with either.
 
Can we afford both? That would finally fix the left side, at least.

Both come with major risks.

I’m against ponying up big money to any player that has proven to be unreliable in terms of staying on the field or that has a history with illegal substances.

But if I’m forced to choose between the two, I’d opt for the better player — which seems to me to be Armstead.

But as you alluded to, what’s the cost difference between the two? If Armstead is going to cost a lot more then that’d change my choice.

Yeah we could afford both if we staggered contracts a little. We still have 15-20 million in cuts we can make without losing anyone good. We also have 76 million in cap next year and 155 in 2024 so money isn’t the issue, it’s a matter of are they worth the contacts with injury and off field issues. Would be nice to go from historically bad to having a top 5 LT and RT in a single season. I won’t get too excited though but it is possible. Bengals cap is the same as we are both competing for both players just comes down to who has the better offer and if both are similar would they rather play for a contender but live in shitty Ohio or would they rather live in beautiful Miami and also save a few million in income tax over the contract. I’m going to assume surroundings matter a little more to Collins who’s only 28 and still wants the nightlife life compared to Armstead who’ll be 31. Whether that’s a good thing for Collins, I’m not sure given the substance abuse bribe but more than likely that was just weed which is everywhere.

With Armsted, I think we need to take the risk. Of course I don't know the numbers he is asking for, but you gotta do something. What you are doing isn't working.

So, you don’t wanna leave money on the table for draft picks? Ok
 
How much is really needed for picks? I see last year, the 29th pick made $2.1M and the 50th pick made $1M. Then I'd think those two take the place of guys already on the roster making $800k min, so that's net $1.5M in salary max. Any other pick that sticks is just swapping costs of an existing player at worst.
 
I’ll admit I’ve never really paid attention to him at tackle. But how good is Armstead?

Whom does he compare to in your opinion?

Spotrac has our draft picks cost at about 8.8 million

Well I would think he will pick the Bengals who just went to the Super Bowl over the Miami Terrible Tua Lovers.
