There is less risk when re-signing your own players than when bringing in a guy you are not familiar with.

If oyu look back at the deals the Bengals gave their own players, they very rarely end up over paying.  They have paid Vinny Rey like a starter for a few years, and I am sure there are a few others I might disagree with, but for the most part their contract extensions work out to be good value.
