Usually in the past, when we lost good players we at least tried to sign a decent replacement. Think Lavernues Coles replacing Housh. Odom replacing Justin Smith. Nate Clements replacing JJo. Last year we got LaFell to replace MLJ. This year we just let 2 key o-linemen walk without doing anything with the money saved. That's bad even for Mike.

This is my entire post. Yet this is what Fred quotes:

I said the last couple years were bad, but I had LaFell among the "decent replacements" I listed. Therefore it's obvious I meant that the LaFell signing was a positive. That should be obvious to someone who frequents the board as much as you. I defended the LaFell signing from the very beginning. I think the 2016 FA period was bad for other reasons. Namely, the Bengals supposedly offered MLJ a "similar" contract to the one offered by Detroit. Now if the Bengals had that money to throw at MLJ, then where did the money go when MLJ signed elsewhere?

In the last couple years, the Bengals let MLJ, Sanu, Whit and Zeitler all walk. I agreed with the Bengals letting them go. That said, I did not like how we supposedly had money earmarked for MLJ and Whitworth that went unspent after they left. We should've improved the team with that money. That's the gist of my entire point.
