Gotta Keep Building through FA

Next year will be a really weird offseason with the Cap dropping so I think people are jumping the gun. I believe the Bengals will use alot of their free cap try to lock up a few of their younger players like WJ3, Carl Lawson, and a Jessie Bates extention. I don't expect alot of money spent on outside free agents...Now 2022 yea that could likely be a bigger FA year.

If the Bengals only put their cap toward re-signing internal guys and then look to address their weaknesses/gaps in the draft, fans might have to expect another season of likely not making the playoffs.

Even if WJ3 and Lawson are re-signed, there will still be at least 3 spots that need (big) improvement:
- At least one OL, preferably 2-3
- At least one pass rusher, preferably two
- A good run stopper at LB
- A field stretcher at WR

Will the Bengals be able to get all of those with one draft right out of the gate? I'd bet no.
