BENGALS SQUAD SHOW: Joe Flacco NEEDS to be RESIGNED if the Bengals are going to CONTEND in 2026

Joe Flacco will always be fondly remembered by Bengals fans for coming over in a mid-season trade and far exceeding expectations with his on-field performance. Given that, and Joe Burrow's history, it would be wise for the Bengals to resign him for the 2026 season. 

The Bengals have plenty of talent on offense, but depth is still important. Which position, on that side of the ball, should the Bengals focus on the most this offseason to insure that side of the ball can best withstand the war of attrition the NFL season is. 

A big reason the Bengals have lost 12 one-score games over the last two seasons is the lack of a closer on defense. Is there someone on the Bengals defense who can emerge as someone that can make a play in close games, or is going outside the organization the way to remedy all the close losses? 

Is this the year Ken Anderson and/or Willie Anderson finally get in the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Alex, Jake and Art discuss that and make their picks for the major awards at the NFL Honors.
