Billings/Tupou made bigger impacts on the line then the highest paid NT in the league. And besides, we finally break the bank and it's on NT? No one thought that was necessary (until today I guess) given where the money could have went.

Waynes we all agreed was overpaid and the worse FA signing of the bunch, so I think it's lame folks want to forget now, but I see Fred has others playing along. 

Dre if not better than Waynes, is likely no more than a wash. Again, we all agreed on this up until about an hour ago. 

Well, yeah, Reader got hurt and missed most of the year.  Although Billings and Tupou both opted out last year.  Apparently, we can forecast injuries, but not opt outs.

He was overpaid.  The worst team in the league is going to have to overpay for FA's.  The consensus at the time is that he was overpaid, but people understood that that's what it took to get big name FA's.

Alexander signed very early in FA.  Dennard likely overpriced himself, like he did the previous off-season, and the Bengals decided to move on.  Dennard then took whatever he could get at the end of FA.  There's no way he was taking that at the start of FA.
