The Cincinnati Bengals are entering 2021 with some higher hopes, but also with plenty of holes. There is still time for the team to make moves that will help solidify the team before the season begins.

The offseason is in full swing for the Bengals as players are out on the field taking reps and playing football. With the draft long in the rearview mirror and most free agents signed, teams generally approach August with a good sense of who their team will be.

However, that does not mean the Bengals should quit trying to improve. There are still a few moves available to them that would allow the team to increase their chances of having a successful 2021 season. While most moves in the season come via trade, the offseason has more freedom with trades or free-agent signings that can bolster the club.

The Bengals have now entered and left the majority of the offseason with the same concerns (offensive line, defensive line, secondary) without doing too much that would show an obvious improvement in those areas. These are likely the areas that the Bengals would look to target if they were to make more moves.

With plenty of improvements to be made, these are the top three moves Cincinnati should make before the season begins.
