The Chargers have a reputation almost as bad as the Bengals, yet they just managed to sign a top player to protect their franchise QB.

Some of that is very arguable and IMO Reader was in the overpaid category.  Also I didn't say no one wants to come here.  I'm saying if say a free agent is offered, to make things simple, $1 to play and start for the Chiefs or $1.25 to play for the Bengals I'm guessing most would choose the Chiefs.  They are at the top of their game and want to keep winning.

Also the Chargers won a playoff game against the Raven Jan 6, 2019. So I argue their reputation is better than the Bengals. The Bengals are what they are and managed horribly in my opinion.  Again as much as I dislike it, this team we love is not a team a lot top tier players aspire to get contracts from.
