Duke Tobin on why the Bengals didn't trade veteran players

Not true at all.
And we don't know what their off-season plan is.

Based on Year over Year history, we know they won't do a lot in FA.
Based on what they did when Marvin first got here, they were quite active in FA and got players Marvin wanted.

To me, I suspect they will be active again for ZT. Also any extra salary can not be rolled over this year, as the CBA has not been settled yet so MB HAS to spend that money. Then there is if we cut/trade a few where productivity does not equal salary, then we can easily jump up to the $90 mil range in free money, so with that kinda money, signing 5-6 good vets isn't out of the question in holes that we need them in. However, trading away our best for draft picks, puts us further back. Now we have another hole to fix.
