They didn’t cut Hart until after they signed Reiff. They didn’t cut Geno until after the signed Ogunjobi.
Since you like barnyard parables involving bulls, let me tell you the one about not counting your chickens until after the eggs hatch.
The Bengals couldn’t know Reiff and Ogunjobi would sign with them two days ago. But, once they secured their replacements they released them. Had they released them earlier it would have tipped their hand and given the agents more negotiating leverage. And if the Bengals weren’t able to sign Reiff or Ogunjobi they would have a greater need for lesser players had they released Geno and Hart before securing their replacements.
Like you wrote before, it’s early. Except when you claim it’s late.
