It's kind of like sending a kid to the store with $50. You have some milk and eggs at home. The kid comes back with 2 cases of pop, 5 bags of potato chips, 2 gallons of milk, and a dozen eggs. He could have bough some high quality foods to have good meals instead.

IF we win 7-8 games this year...with better acquisitions in free agency, we could have win 9-10 games.

It's kind of like that every year for the Bengals. People look at the 2015 season as our best roster. Even at that, we had weaknesses at Center and our LB's couldn't cover TE's. Would it have hurt to go for it that year and add a quality Center in free agency?

That's something that fans who are on here parroting their support for every move don't get.

And it's not like the Bengals aren't spending money this offseason. It's just that the money they are spending isn't on guys who are better than last years starters...with the possible exception of Miller...but that's even debateable as he had 3 rough year sin the league then improved some last year.

The Bengals big hope this year is that the other teams in the division got worse and we also play a last place schedule! Yay! Way to go out and be proactive.

Who should we have signed that same money on? The LB who broke the bank? The OT who is now the highest paid lineman in the game, a guy the World Champs willingly let walk away? Who?

Maybe the LB who's missed games every year of his career or the LB coming off the ACL.
