Is Parson due for an extension?

Same draft class as Chase.

Yeah, it's not that I'm against any of them being here, but these are things that could have been addressed earlier, including last year. Now everyone is more expensive, bringing people "back" and no huge moves to improve. Not like hoping our stars play better is what was missing. Just hope we find a steal in the draft or something. And correct, seeing how bad they can be without them would be a nightmare. 

DONE!!!

I mean, that was almost 2 weeks ago. You have no idea what they were offering then before the Bengals FO saw the price just only going up (and probably not very many season ticket re-ups as they did next to nothing in FA) as players got massive paydays due to the cap rising.

People been holding onto these "i told you so" passive aggressive post.

I didn't think this would happen man.

Anyone posting remarks in an "I told you so" manner should be respectful. It's not like this organization did, or has done anything to show its loyalty to making this team great. If they don't grab "D" help, we can look at going 0-? again. This team has let us down over and over again. Don't expect a few signings to change that perspective. In fact, expect some bails from these same signings or trade requests when stuff goes bad! You can't win an SB with 3 players.

I guess Goodberry doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground... Like I said before

Ok… as a season ticket holder.. re ups happened in the middle of last season….. And there is a waiting list.

Tell me you’re not a season ticket holder without telling me your not a season ticket holder.

For the first time since joining this board Harley, I totally disagree with you. Nothing better than watching people jump off the ledge, having meltdowns all over nothing. Now they are moving the goalpost and claiming we overpaid and have nothing left to improve the team. Apparently, they haven't learned to much.

Respect goes both ways. Some of feel fans are disrespectful of the FO and ownership. The labeling is not respectful. Many fans have crossed the line, they dont deserve respect in my humble opinion until they asknowledge they were disrespectful.

Some of the same fans continue to show disrespect for the FO and other fans. Maybe you should lecture them as well.

Why the hate on Goodberry? That post was from the start of free agency and a story that came out. He also said Saturday the deal was done. But Goodberry doesn't really break news. He mainly has game/player breakdowns and uses pff to show historical trends which seems to be the proper way to use the metric. His most controversial take i can think of is wanting the Bengals FO is catch up to the rest of the league. Which is what all fans should want.

I'm not lecturing. I'm simply stating that the hoopla is overdone. No need,  at any time,  for any poster,  to do an "I told you so" Again, I will revert back to the organization. I know they've tried to do better, but they seem out of touch with other NFL teams. We were in the SB. Did we pull out all the stops to make the next year our year? No. We tried to go cheap and got burned for it AGAIN! 

Look. All I'm trying to say is hindsight is 20/20. It doesn't matter what the issue concerns the fans. It will go one way or the other. 

As for me personally, I hate we paid Tee so much. He's not worth it, nor has he earned it. His body seems injury prone. Good guy, and I won't disagree with that. But good guys don't get you a SB when their on the bench 30% of the time.

Lots of players make business decisions. Both of his “injury plagued” seasons were lame duck years for Tee. That’s a tough spot for the player. If he plays 15+ games this year, he will have his best season to date.

If I'm writing the checks, it's about what have you done. Not what I hope you can do. Better get that guy a special conditioning coach.

Even missing time last year Tee was a top 10 WR in production last year. The offense was good enough last year so it makes sense not to let that side of the ball regress just because the defense needs to get better. You can't pick what position your elite players show up on your team so you need to change what your position values are based on where the elite players show up. I think whether we struggle next year won't be because we signed Higgins it will be because the team didn't continue to sign additional players when they had the resources to do so.
