I get so confused about whether the Bengals are in win-now mode or not. They let Whitworth and Zeitler walk when they have ample cap room to retain at least one of them, so you think the Bengals don't have much urgency to win now and instead draft and develop. But then they look at a FA like Barwin who clearly isn't a long-term solution and would just take away snaps from a draft pick or younger player, so it gives off the feeling of win-now (somewhat).

Unfortunately, this lack of identity results in creating a plateau rather than peaks and valleys like most teams go through. While it's good to not have a "bad" team, it's frustrating to never have a "great" team.
