Until that $5.5 mil starter gets hurt, and in steps Andre Smith: Part *checks notes* 4.
It's not a big enough tender to prohibit them from signing someone else, and he's a decent enough player that when something goes wrong he can step in and at least be competent. Sure, we'd all love to see the Bengals go out and sign some good, starting level talent on the OL. But it isn't likely to happen; even if it was likely this move still doesn't prevent it. Having a solid backup that can play three spots for a mid-level salary isn't the worst thing in the world.
