Did Zeitler even want to come here?

How many players have been drafted by the Bengals, left in free agency and then returned? I’m legitimately curious...

LOL ok so we should only sign players that don’t care about money

Some entertaining takes up in here tonight. I’ll give you all that much.

Who knows. The Bengals made it an easy decision not to though.

Now if Friday rolls around and they still haven't brought in a couple offensive lineman I'll be the first one off the ledge.

You are the one that said to over pay a player, not me.   Do you know what over paying means?  Hint it means paying more than they are worth. :)

What are you even arguing here? You can still be a really good player and be overpaid relative to market value.

Well it all depends "who" they might bring in. I'm tired of the K-Mart Blue Light Specials.

The guy is on his 4th team, wonder why that is?


RE: ***Official Bengals Free Agency Thread*** - psychdoctor - 03-15-2021

I think the Bengals will address the DL and maybe WR now that some of the top IOL have signed elsewhere. I also think the Bengals may address the IOL needs in the draft early. At least I would hope they do. If the team retains Lawson and maybe signs Hendrickson, at least DE need has been addressed.

Instead, they'll bring a bunch of B/C-tier guys and end up maybe getting 6-7 wins.
THAT WILL TEACH THOSE TEAMS WHO SPEND IN FA!!!

I bet we will make some moves that improve the team. Just because we didn't make one guy the highest paid at his position doesn't mean we are not working to get better.

There’s that spin!

Zeitler has been a very good NFL Guard. There’s absolutely no reason to go looking for mystery reasons or issues that simply aren’t there. NY couldn’t afford his cap hit, so they cut him. Simple as that.

It doesn't have to be one of the highest-paid guys, but getting those guys gives fans more confidence and should result in more ticket sales.
If you get some guys that are lesser known names and/or maybe didn't perform as an above-average contributor with their previous team, it could result in less excitement and ticket sales going into the season.
Regardless, it's what the team does after those acquisitions. If they don't win, it won't matter.

And technically, 6-7 wins would be an improvement over 2021. Is that good enough?

I'm sure one day they will discover an illness and call it "Bengals Fan Derangement Syndrome." Only treatment is playoff wins. It is an incurable disease.

I live in the DC/Baltimore area. You have to be specific about Dan Snyder blowing a wad. Can be taken multiple ways.

Must have something left in the tank, he was the first lineman gone in free agency today. I'm sure the Ravens front office did their homework on him, I don't think they're a bunch of baffoons over there.

The team that is a legit Super Bowl contender every single year? Nah. It was obviously a dumb signing. Good players never get cut... Ninja
