I attribute that to Marvin being around Ozzie Newsome. Marvin seems to think that strategy works the best of any other strategy. If a FA is being offered a deal that looks like it'll net a 3rd or 4th rounder, they let the guy walk and protect the pick. We also get to limit our list of FAs to cut guys. Yipee.

If we let Iloka and Jones go, then there's ZERO excuse to not get extensions done with guys like Eifert and Zeitler in camp.

And if they did I think he likes his job enough that he isn't going to go out there and say exactly who we are targeting and what we intend to do.

Apparently our list of guys we interviewed at the combine is a closely kept secret. So your list they probably hate.

They may not let Hobson have access to sensitive draft information, but they don't seem to have problem telling Lapham. He's the one that told us the Bengals preferred Zeitler to DeCastro in 12, Eifert in 13, and even predicted Ogbuehi for last year.
