Are we being realistic with Free Agency expectations?

It’s literally the most obvious thing we have ever seen.  Get a good OL.  I don’t care if our backups suck, as long as our starters are good.  We played, down the stretch… 4 backup OL. It’s criminal… and somehow the bengals almost won in spite of that.

No one in their right mind thought the Bengals were actually contending for the Super Bowl. Not even the Bengals themselves.
I'm sure they would have gone more "in" if they had known.
Now that they've shown they can get there, they can be willing to invest more to get back.
