The narrative about the Bengals in free agency is correct and the Bengals fans know it.

Rapoport, and others on this board, mention that the Bengals are in the top half of the league in spending. The "spending" is not the problem. It's what they spend it on and what they don't spend it on.

Examples:
Gio Bernard's contract
Bobby Hart's contract
Webb's contract
The above 3 contracts could have brought in an actual good player
Andrew Whitworth gets low-balled, then insulted by braindead zombee Blackburn - team has been languishing at the position ever since
Zietler wasn't even offered a deal - team still has not replaced him with a competent player
