June 1st and they save more money

the least important of our top 3

Glad to have him but he is a penalty machine and cannot tackle

Oh please.  You think we're going to the Super Bowl with this O line?  Last place is where we're going.

What have any of those guys shown you to think that they can walk in and perform at a high level as a #1 and #2?

1 game doesn't mean squat.  

At least they won't be taking another damn corner in the 1st this year

The #Bengals are keeping CB Dre Kirkpatrick, source said. They fought for him and get it done.

Oh, boy.  CB's, we have.  LT, RG, we don't.  Way to prioritize.

Here, read this:

Blow it up. Burn it down. Bring on the fire sale. Maybe incarnation #3 will get it done in three or four years.

The only thing that really gives me some sort of promise is that maybe, just maybe by adding a premier pass rushing prospect in the draft that the defense will be top 5 and carry the offense.

That's all I've got - for opitmism at least.

Saw an entire year in 2015 of Kirkpatrick being our worst player in the Secondary.

Shaw played great last year in the Slot, Dennard and WJ3 are highly talented first round Corners.

Much more talented than Kirkpatrick.

We will probably have to let all these guys go when it is their contract year cause of this signing.

This was overpaying for an average Corner after playing decent in his contract year for once.

You honestly have faith in Kirkpatrick keeping this up?

You're better than that Nate. Cheer up, this is not the end of the world

Good news on an otherwise disappointing day. Now we must try (if it's not too late) to do something with the money "saved" by losing Whit and better the team.

Anyone that isn't alarmed by today is out of touch with reality. There is a very valid reason to be concerned. Where are games won and lost? The trenches. Right now we have:

LT - Ced (worst tackle in the game last year)
LG - Boling (Solid)
C - Bodine (Bottom 5 center)
RG - Anyone's guess, but its not an average NFL starter at this point.
RT - Fisher (I honestly think he will end up being a top 15 RT.

So, 2 of the 5 starters (including the most important) were among the worst in the NFL last year. That's a problem. We have 2 others that have either played ZERO games or played less than 5 at their positions. That's a problem.

But we already saw their answer on Bengals.com.  They're not doing anything and Ogbuehi is the guy.  Despite his dreadful performance last year.  But don't worry.  He's been working out.

I'll let you know once we see who the OL will be. But I do know we didn't go to the SB with the old one.

I guess we will have to disagree on Dre.  I actually thought he was one of the better corners last year.  I guess time will tell if this is a good deal.  I can't really argue with you since all I have to go on is my own opinion.
