Barnwell ranks Bengals offensive weapons #16

Every year every team in the league tries to get better by adding players through the draft, free agency and sometimes trades. Some teams also get improvements from injured players returning healthy.

But every year many teams also lose key players through free agency or retirement. And teams with a lot of older players will see declines instead of improvements.

I am not ready to count Eifert as an improvement yet, but I really believe Ross will add a lot to our team. And we have not lost any key players through free agency or retirement. Michael Johnson seems to be the only player that is declining due to age.

So, while every team has tried to make improvements I believe the Bengals are in better shape because we don't have an old roster, we did not lose any key free agents, and e have a top ten draft pick who contributed nothing last year returning healthy this season.
