...this is a dumb question. I get the preface, but you can't front market value sign every player just so they don't hit FA's. Maybe 6-10 guys, you can. The rest, you have to be confident enough that if the market value and fit isn't right, you can replace them. As others said, I doubt every pending FA we have actually hits the market, but in a few cases, they SHOULD. The Bengals wouldn't be doing their due diligence if they just signed everyone to what they demanded.
