Combined with zero outside additions.
Once again, simply not really a result you can rub in someone's face about how stupid they should feel for being wrong. I'm glad they got Adam Jones re-signed, I thought he was important, but lets not pretend that the Bengals didn't get worse than they were last year from this FA so far. Likely more so than a single draft of rookies can make up for.
Just like I am pretty sure you're not going to find any Denver fans talking about how great their FA period was either just because they signed 2 people and watched 4 more leave.
Poor Leonard.
Not man enough to admit when he was wrong.
