Free Agents that still make sense, for the Bengals
#12

I think a lot of these guys got pushed to the side when WR contracts went crazy this offseason and there was a lot of WR depth in the draft. Now they will need to come cheap or get left out in the cold. This would be my #1 target in FA at this stage. We have no depth outside of our starting 3, there’s a ton of guys left available, and the longer the offseason goes the more realistic their demands should be.

O line would be my #2 target. I’d prefer to bring Spain back as a backup for less than $2 mil. Tretter would be nice too and really give us options with Karras if needed since he can play C/G if we have an injury or Carman plays poorly. Or a tackle like Reiff, Williams, Brown, etc. if they are ok as backups. All would be terrific insurance policies. I think we should absolutely hit #1 and #2 on my list. I’d be very happy at that point.

Edge would be #3 for me. Would have to be someone with legit pass rush. Flowers or JPP (didn’t watch much of him last year to know what is up but he’s been good prior to that). If not, roll with what we’ve got even though I wanted it addressed in the offseason. Not a whole lot out there that can help us at this point. Target a pass rusher in the draft next year.

I don’t think we bring in another DT after using a 3rd on Carter and already having Hill, Reader, Tupou and Shelvin. That’s 5 guys they like and they can rotate DE’s down on passing plays if needed, especially if Ossai plays well and can take a lot of snaps on the edge rushing the passer. That said, Suh and Richardson are both intriguing. Maybe in season add if injuries occur.

TY Hilton would be my preference of the WR's you mentioned if he still has his quicks. Damn smart route runner with 
great hands. Julio still might have something in the tank down at the schoolyard. Spain I would like if the FO decides to
bring him back, I just don't know if Pollack liked his effort on the last play of the SB. 

Could be the reason, it isn't his health as it is with Tretter. Could be his weight, could be his twitter fascination etc.

Plus I think we drafted Volson for his versatility and most importantly his effort. He plays hard till the whistle and never
lets up. Tretter has screwed up knees and doesn't even practice with the team he plays for anymore. 

Flowers or JPP make sense.

Honestly 3-tech behind BJ Hill is my biggest question on the team besides how Carman improves. Zach Carter was an 
End at Florida and he is making the move to 3-tech and we all saw how the Carman move to the right side went. 

Different sides of the ball and positions but you get my meaning. Any of the 3-tech's mentioned in this thread i would
be down with.
