In today's NFL, you really have to try to capitalize on rookie contracts. With the way veterans (especially good QBs) get paid, it can be very difficult to keep your talent and put together a championship-caliber team year-after-year.

The Bengals need to definitely view the next few years as their window and go all in.

.....and they didn't have any real threat at RB, or on defense during his time there. They pretty much relied on Dan to do it all.
