Yep. Yet we keep hearing in other threads about the amazing Bengals team culture that Zac created.

The culture wasn't good last year. Contract issues. There was supposedly stuff going on with the defense. Guys wanting traded. Maybe Zac didn't create any of that. But, the great culture thing is largely a myth.

He was Trey's replacement in waiting. He ain't the guy. Same goes with Dax and Bates. Thankfully he's at least versatile. BPA builds strong rosters. Drafting for need created the 2023 - 2024 Bengals.

Generally the good drafting teams go BPA. Ravens do it constantly. Chiefs largely do it.

The press conference has been moved to 330.

The Bengals press room is being remodeled so they have been using a small conference room I wonder if they needed to move to a larger space leading to a time change

Culture isn't a myth and it's not static. It will take a hit from time to time and some of that can be due to decisions the FO makes. 

I don't give Zac a ton of credit most times but i do give him some credit for how he's helped build this team and how he runs it.

How to say Cincinnati is boring without saying it....According to Ja'Marr, playing and living in Cincinnati allows him to concentrate on football without outside distractions.

Tee is celebrating by getting a fishtank in his wall.  Oh and a glass of champagne and a cigar too

As he noted, the, "classy," way to go about it lol.

Ja'Marr also could have meant that he has no friends, family or anything here, so he can focus just on himself and football, whereas back in LA, he probably has a ton of things to do and people to see.

Interview with Rocky Arceneaux on how the deals got done

He didn't think he could both done until after the combine. He was proceeding like the plan was tag and trade but realized after the combine that the Bengals really did want to sign Tee.

Tee's deal was done first, then Ja'Marr's, then they redid Tee's

Garrett's deal did not impact Ja'Marr's. They signed for the number they were trying for in Jan.

This should be a hard lesson to learn for the Bengals front office.  Get your deals done early.  They cost themselves millions by not doing so.

I honestly felt the Front Office would blow this. I am very happy to have been proven wrong.

Thanks for posting that. It was very insightful and while I really hope we continue to be active in free agency the FO definitely deserve some props for getting these done.
