Did the AFC North do a big move I'm not aware of?

Ravens haven't added anyone that wasn't on their team last year.
Russell Wilson isn't the same guy he was in his championship years in SEA, so I'm not seeing a big upgrade for PIT.
About the only impactful addition was Jerry Jeudy to Browns, but they've had other competent WR2s on the team before and it really didn't make them have a good passing attack.

Bengals are still among the division favorites with a fully healthy Burrow and the same guys they had last year.
They'll have a couple departures, but they have plenty of opportunity to add quality players in those spots.
It's not like RT or TE had lights out performance last year that they can't find someone of the same caliber or better still with who is left.

We still got time this week to see what additions happen.

Even a washed Russell Wilson is a huge improvement over Pickett. Pickett is averaging 9 TDs and 9 INTs per 17 games.

Steelers will continue to be good, but I don't think Wilson will be as much of a difference maker as you may think.

Who should the Bengals have signed that got signed by another team, and at that deal or higher?

Getting someone like Christian Wilkins was not going to happen.
Bengals are trying to find budget-friendly guys to round out their core, not drop a big amount of money on someone new.
They got too many positions to backfill.

Patriots informed WR DeVante Parker that they are releasing him Wednesday and he now has been given permission to talk to other teams, per his agent Jimmy Gould.

It's hard to get across how incompetent Pickett has been as a QB. Even an aggressively mediocre washed Wilson is WAY WAY better.

The Bengals should have signed one of the decent IOL. Mitch Morse 2yr/$10.5m, Andre James 3yr/$24m, Graham Glasgow 3yr/$20m. Would have allowed them to either replace Volson outright or replace Karras so he could slide back over to LG to replace Volson.

I also would have liked the Gabe Davis at his 3yr/$39m deal.
