We drafted Ced and Fisher to replace Smith and Whit. You have to stick to that plan. You can't give up on 1st round picks after one year. Especially considering Ced was coming off a major injury. Let's see how these guys do.
Paying a RG 10+ million a year is asinine. The Bengals are smart to let Z go. It sucks, but it's the right move.
Dre is the guy the Bengals need to re-sign.
Let's see how this thing plays out...it's still early.
Unfortunately it's not. This isn't the same NFL as it was 5 years ago. Why can't you pay a RG that much? The salary cap is $167 million and Cincy has a ton available. Where are we going to spend that money? It sure won't be on outside free agents? Are we going to extend someone? That won't use up all that money.
You can't just let the young guys walk out the door. I get not signing Whit. He's older and at some point he will slow down.
There's no reason you can't sign both Dre and Z and still have $15 million to roll over to next year (where we already have a ton of cap space)
