That leaves 2 open roster spots. It's not out of the question by any stretch.
That's where I'm at. Getting Fairley or any FA at the right price doesn't preclude them from drafting a DT early by any means. This is a team that basically redshirted Hardison, Thompson and Still so it wouldn't be shocking if a rookie DT was the 5th guy and didn't dress unless there was an injury. I don't see it as a question of Cincy wanting Fairley (right price only), but Fairley may not see Cincy as the best choice. He may be back to showcasing himself if he still doesn't like his offers, and with the cap going up maybe another team gives him a bit more guaranteed money because remember Cincy will look to take care of their own. Fairley wouldn't stop them from drafting a DT high, but the plan of drafting a DT high may limit the length of the deal they'd offer.
