This is the biggest opportunity the Bengals have ever had to radically improve their team over 1 season given they also draft at the top for 7 rounds. Could be decades before another opportunity like this arises. So I’m cautiously optimistic they will be very active in FA.
AJ should make much more on his next deal than his current one. Mixon is the only player I see who is in line for a substantial raise. But yeah, I totally agree. This is the best opportunity the Bengals have had to be extremely active in free agency. If they aren't, they're going to head into the season with massive cap space to spare, and I'm sure that'll set a great first impression for our new franchise QB and a fanbase that has reached a point of apathy.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
