Missed MOST of you asswipes! Minus Cupcakes, faulk, all of you Fantasy thieves, and is Taylor still the man?
Wait and see where the chips fall in FA, and HELL YES Taylor is still the man in my book.
Not giving up on FO yet either. Both the FO and Taylor have made me proud to be a Bengals fan the last few years and still have faith in whatever their plan may be until they prove otherwise.
Successful teams get plundered and this is a byproduct of the Bengals success. Just like Taylor earlier this season, I will not judge in the midst of the adversity but will reserve judgement for how they respond to the adversity.
Good to see your return to the forums even if you do suck at fantasy football.
Actually the only thing that has changed for me since the start of free agency is that we need to find another safety. I'm still sitting here with these wants/wishes:
1. Functional RT
2. Functional CB
3. Functional TE
4. Functional S
They don't have to be stars - but guys like Hurst was last year. Someone that can come in and play at a decent level.
WAY TOO MUCH TALENT LEFT.
I'm not worried. It's a weird year for free agency. Teams don't want to overspend with limited options in certain position groups.
Luckily for Cincinnati, the position groups where we're hurting are actually booming. TE and S. OT still has some names in it too. And we could wait for our starting TE till the draft. TE is just going to be super easy to address this offseason.

Taylor's not the one in control of the contract signings.
I really think it's the FO being stubborn and/or unable (due to lack of cash) to give enough guaranteed money and/or contract length to keep these guys.

What's up my friend!
You sign a lineman who preferably will be in a position to start at either tackle spot
You draft a tackle round 1 unless Bijan or your top TE prospect falls.
You double dip in the draft at RB
Use your comp pick to double dip at TE and you spend the other picks on BPA

Yep. And Mixon, Boyd and others are not getting younger. Weird indeed.
Well FA isn’t over. Trying to be pragmatic here ( unlike some of you ?). It’s too early in FA to have a realistic opinion and it’s really a two season thing counting the draft. My biggest question is were they somewhat caught off guard at the deals our free agents were able to merit? Were they naive they’d suck it up and take less to stay? Were they unprepared for what has transpired. Let’s hope not. Right now they definitely have some work ahead. To not keep Hurst, Bell, or Perine ( just 1) is concerning. But again let’s let it play out.

Hey brother, nice to see you again Tiger Teeth. I think we are doing it a little different this Free Agency. We said we were bringing
back our own, but we weren't ever going to overpay to do so and in doing other NFL teams poached some of our guys because we
are winners now. This was unpredictable, nothing wrong with that. Would be dumb to hold true and overpay our guys.
Especially when there is tons of talent out there to upgrade and there will be for many days to come.
