Not saying they don't sign FAs but they are normally cast offs with issues very similar to what we do. The only real difference is their coaching and their hall of fame QB.

Falcons on the other hand did sign Sanu and Mack, so it can be done either way.

The difference between the Pats and Bengals is the Pats consistently develop the folks they are drafting.  The Bengals have been very good at this, but had a recent dip in the production from their most recent drafts.  There is no reason to believe they can't recover and re-build some important areas of the roster.  

This is the most important draft/FA period in the Dalton/Green Era...they have to nail this one.
