The Cincinnati Bengals face a tumultuous offseason after a disappointing 2022 campaign, finishing with a 9-8 record. The team's struggles have raised more questions than answers, particularly around star quarterback Joe Burrow. With offseason workouts underway, Burrow's readiness to lead the team back to playoff contention is under scrutiny. The organization’s decisions regarding roster moves and draft strategies will be critical as they look to support their franchise quarterback and improve their overall performance.

Despite Burrow's talent, the Bengals need to address issues on both sides of the ball, including an offensive line that struggled to protect him, and a defense that needs reinforcements. As they navigate free agency and the draft, how they balance immediate needs with long-term strategies will be pivotal in reshaping their image in the AFC.
