How do we lose TWO starting safeties in day one, especially knowing that we're out of the market for one of them?
"We want to go younger" is just a euphemism for "we want to be cheap skates". Vonn Bell and Bates is what got us to the SB two years ago, LITERALLY. Look at that overtime interception.
If the Bengals decide to pay for one of the remaining good ones, it's STILL a downgrade. But I get a feeling that they're just fine with Tycen Anderson, which will be a disaster against the Bills and the Cheifs.
The Bengals can't afford to have its episodes of buttcheek offense anymore. The Defense won't be top 10 next season.
This feels a like more like a decline. The Bills and Cheifs addressed core issues day one. Bengals objectively are worse off.
I'd ask why your such a girl, but I don't want to insult girls. Everyone knew Bates was gone, they already drafted his replacement. Bell was the only surprise, and he got more money approaching 30 than the Bengals were willing to part with. I like Bell as much as the next guy, but the decision makes sense. And the FA's grabbed on day one are the one's usually overpaid by desperate teams. We re-signed Pratt, which hardly anyone saw coming. And, oooo , the Bills address needs on day 1, but yet they still have nothing for the Bengals when they hit the field.
