Bengals Free Agency

[Bengalstripes9]

Seems like the Packers made some good moves.

They upgraded their safety.

Josh Jacobs is certainly a good back.
I'm a bit leary of signing backs to big contracts though.

What concerns me about the Packers is their oline.
But they weren't terrible last year, so maybe they're alright.
Sucks to lose Batieri. He was a beast before injury.

They definitely need some younger players to step up and contribute more to their pass rush and front 7.

...

As far as the Bengals..

They improved their secondary.
Still need a corner or two though.

If they add Tart and a good DT in the draft I think they will have a better rotation this year.
But losing Reader is a big loss.

At RT you go from having a league average right tackle to a giant question mark.
Hopefully they can draft a good lineman in the draft.
They need to start hitting on lineman draft picks because they're counting on a lot of free agent vets they can't keep around too much longer.

Overall I would say the team will end up being about the same this year and needs to stay healthy.
They really need to hit the draft out of the park to set up future success, and a deep run this year.
