Personally, I've said before I thought if one or both walked that we would sign a veteran and draft someone. I still think that.
1. We might, but considering the team hasn't signed even a semi-decent FA WR since 2010, I understand why some have their doubts. I certainly have mine. Hopefully the Bengals have learned from 2012 and 2014 though.
2. We have no realistic options on the roster and rookie WRs typically struggle.
Honestly I'd say there's a 100% chance we draft at least one WR, but as for signing a veteran, I'd say that's 50/50 chance at best. I'm sure the team values the #2 position based on what they offered MLJ, but they've shied away from vet WR's since Bryant/TO. They only sign guys for the minimum or close to.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
