Clearly not by signing them since when was the last time the Bengals signed one of the top overall free agents? Never?
Reader (4 yr $53 million) and Waynes (3 yr $42 million) last year and Hendrickson this year (4 yr $60 million).
All 3 are in the top ten highest paid in the league at their position. And, of course, since we are talking about keeping oine of our own players in Bates the Bengals have paid up many times to keep some of the best players in the league here (Palmer, Chad Johnson, Willie Anderson, Levi Jones, Dunlap, Atkins, Whitworth, Burfict, etc)
