The closer free agency gets, the more a potential plan becomes unveiled for the Bengals’ offensive line.
Rumblings are indicating that Trey Hopkins’ days in Cincinnati are numbered. The 29-year old center has one year left on his contract and is scheduled to count for a little over $7 million against the cap this year.
Hopkins is coming off a rough season where it took him most of the year to regain his form after tearing his ACL at the end of the 2020 season. While he did improve as the season progressed, it doesn’t seem like the team values him at his current price and is looking for a long-term alternative.
