I agree with all of the reasons for optimism listed so far, and would like to add one more that hasn't been mentioned yet.
Commitment from the front office. We haven't seen an offseason roster overhaul like this, by the Bengals management before. That took some serious courage on their part, to admit what they were doing previously wasn't working, and to boldly step step into openly competing with other teams for prime players on the open market. By extending the Franchise tag to AJ Green and working a lucrative contract extension with Joe Mixon, they've also shown that they're still committed to keeping the best of their own selected and developed players right here at home.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
