That simple ?
Sounds like the Bengals usual way of doing things.
Michael Johnson sucks. Wouldn't take much to replace him, and not every player can be an all-star. So you sign your core players (Atkins/Dunlap) and replace MJ with a cheaper salary to clear room for the new Atkins/Dunlap deals. Not like we'd be losing much by replacing MJ with a cheap FA or draft pick. Heck, a cheap FA might be an upgrade.
And fwiw, I'm not sure why you'd knock the Bengals FA habits right now. Didn't they just bring in 2 of the best players on the market? Plus a few others?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
