The bengals are not going to not sign any FAs. They also are not going to over pay. Let’s be a little patient, the only big loss that wasn’t expected was bell. But we more or less offset that with Pratt.
Perine, hurst and bates where all expected to leave or can be easily replaced.
This is a good place for us to be in. Good teams lose good players every year.
It was expected to lose Bates and maybe even Hurst because people would overpay both. But we lost Bell and Perine on top of that
which wasn't expected. Perine was paid to be a starter and I don't know if he is quite there yet. Really liked the guy but we can add a
more explosive starter that can pass block. I agree with your premise though Bengalbug.
We will see how many come back and eat crow when this is all said and done. We have a lot of money to throw around and we WILL
fill the roster and there are lots of very good to great vets out there to be had still. Expecting a RT like Eluemunor, A Safety like CGJ,
Poyer, Rapp, Love or Thornhill at the very least and depth players at Edge and maybe even 3-tech and Guard.
