A good draft and LaFell could make things interesting on the offensive side.
All in all, a tip of the hat to the FO in FA. I don't think I've EVER said that......
Agreed. This is the first offseason I can remember where the Bengals did everything I thought they should do.
- Let MLJ and Sanu sign crazy contracts elsewere? Check.
- Make the younger safety (Iloka) the priority? Check.
- Bring back Adam? Check.
- Sign a vet WR (something I've harped on for years?) Check. (As a bonus, it was the exact guy I wanted)
- Let Andre walk? Check.
- Finally sign Dansby? Check.
The only other thing I would possibly want is for Reggie to come back, and even that is still a possibility. Props to the FO.

Yup. Hopefully they also add a draft pick or two. Like BD said, just one injury and we're looking at Tate starting.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
