Yes we have work to do at WR. Getting involved in an over paid free agent class for some guys coming off of career years would have cost us one of the 3 defenders we have signed back. May not be the best WR draft class. But there are options better than these guys. 

Notice where the teams that signed them are picking in the draft...

You mean like when the Bengals "matched" Jones' 5yr/$40m offer?


Also, why specify outside free agents as if they're some kind of plague? What is Cincinnati, Japan back in the Isolationist period? Because that worked REAL well for them, fighting with swords and arrows while the US had trains and gatling guns. Stagnating like that is maybe why the Bengals have the longest playoff win drought. I'm pretty sure outside free agents have helped the last three straight Super Bowl winners. A lot of those guys came off losers, didn't stop them from winning the big one.
