I’m not sure what point you’re getting at. That the Bengals have a history of spending top dollars in free agency? Clearly they don’t, both pre and post current CBA (didn’t even realize this was a debated topic lol)
Fred only debates it lol
Lately though we have done well in FA, at least the years that Taylor has got here the FO has tried. Bringing in Reader, Hendrickson
Ogunjobi, Reiff, Waynes, Awuzie, Hilton, Allen was definitely not what we are accustomed to around here. These guys are all top end
FA's. We usually brought in the AJ Hawk's who were washed up, nothing against Hawk, like the guy but he was not his young self.
Same with Dansby and others. These were the FA signings we were all used to.
