It has to play some part in what they have done in free agency. The Bengals never took that level of widespread abuse from so many outlets as in the off season. Whatever the reason, i am not complaining.

The front office have taken this kind of abuse and more in the past. Mike Brown used to say things like "We hear you loud and clear!" and still went on with business as usual. The media was brutal with us in the 90's calling us (Sorry Bonnie) the "Bungles" among other things. From local shows like "Sports of all Sorts" to the national shows on NBC, CBS, FOX, and ESPN we were "abused, ridiculed, and criticized on a regular basis and a lot of it was justified. Now, what finally changed this year? I don't know. Maybe Mike Brown is changing his business model from a team that builds through the draft to a team that builds through the draft and free agency. Maybe Zac Taylor has something to do with it? I don't know? Did Mike Brown turn over control to Troy and Katie Blackburn? Again, who knows? Could be a number of things, like our record last year, our attendance the last few seasons, or Mike Brown's age catching up with him, maybe a combination of things. I'm just happy for the change for once. If it blows up in our face at least we can say we tried something different because building mostly through the draft hasn't worked out for us the last few seasons. Let's hope the changes made this off season along with Joe Burrow and a new crop of draft picks coming in, it will be truly a "New Dey" for us all! Who Dey! Stay Safe!! and God Bless!!!
