What I'm saying is that constantly not signing players to high contracts at certain positions can cause a certain perception about the team/owner, which is the point of this thread. Perception of why Brown is a bad owner. One thing (I believe) for the perception is how certain positions are handled in FA.
I still don't get it.
How many different positions have we ever had a top 5 paid player? That is just setting the bar too high.
Like I said in my original post on this subject, many people base this claim on the fact that we let Steinbach and Zeitler leave in free agency. But both of those guys were overpaid. You can't accuse Mike Brown of "undervaluing" a position just because he refused to "over pay".
Over the last decade the Bengals are one of only 3 teams that have used multiple first round picks on IOL (Dallas, Ind)
