This does not change that after adding the Bills LT, The Bills LB and resigning Eifert, The Bengals then said they would now have to cut money to pay for this, but no problem.  They would not try to keep Bodine, Hill or Pacman. They would get a center in draft, not free agency. They would cut more salaries later, which they have in LaFell and IIoka.  Plus they had a suspension clause on Burficts last contract and Burfict is indeed suspended so Bengals get to put a million to a million and half back in bank that they now don't have to pay Burfict.  So what the Bengals said after the first few days of free agency is holding true.  They felt they over spent, but could get the money back before the season, and they are.  The news is IIoka was simply a salary cut.  The Bengals have not said the 5 year starter wasn't playing well.  All news stories so far point to this being to cut payroll, just as Bengals said they would do back in Winter, cut payroll because they feel they over spent.  That's not me, that's what Bengals said last Winter. They felt they over spent, but could make cuts to get some of this money back.  They feel they needed the LT and LB and feel Eifert was worth paying one more time, but they said salary cuts would be made to off set these moves, and they have been.
