Now if MLJ and Iloka walk, I would want the Bengals to make a serious effort to replace at least one of them via FA. Preferably MLJ because Shawn Williams looks good and rookie WRs often take time to develop. Trevathan would be nice too, but that's a pipe dream. Btw...isn't it a little sad that a mid-tier FA like Trevathan is just a pipe dream for Bengals fans? Ugh.

That's the line for years. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If we sign everybody this year, I'll be happy. We don't need some big free agent coming in this year, just our own guys and somebody to shore up DT and maybe a little CB/WR depth. If we get that through FA or the draft, I'll be ecstatic.
