I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that Reid also would be a 1-year contract too. Because of all those 1-year contracts, I don't think it could necessarily change the draft plans a lot. We've seen the Bengals draft players at what we considered deep positions because of starters in contract years or even 2 years away from FA.

The way I see it, those one year deals are by design, like insurance policies.  Now, rather than being forced to look at filling all of those positions, they have the luxury of being able to take what falls to them.  More than likely, someone in one of those positions being "band-aided" by a player on a one deal, that the Bengals really want, is going to be there.  Hard to predict what position, and which prospect.

I don't mind the guys on one year deals.  It seems smart and proactive, rather than just gambling it all on the draft, and hoping it all works out.
