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.


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.

They are literally the only 2 major deals up in the next few years. 
And it's two of the lowest paid positions on offense.
