- This 2024 compensatory pick news just shot my followers count up into five figures. Much thanks to whichever Bengals fan was #10,000! Not going to lie, I hope the Bengals draft a Hall Of Famer with the 97th overall pick to seal this place in NFL history.
- My annual evaluation of my compensatory picks projection for 2024 will have to wait for several reasons. But in the meantime, something is really, really wrong with the 3rd/4th round cutoff--to the point that I'm concerned that the NFL Management Council may have made an error.

Now they have the comp pick and Bell in the same season--along with most of the salary being paid by the Panthers.The #Bengals are bringing back S and captain Vonn Bell, per agent @davidcanter. He gets a 1-year, $6M fully guaranteed deal... that's getting paid by Carolina. He's on the minimum from Cincy.
