Are we being realistic with Free Agency expectations?

I'm sure they would have gone more "in" if they had known.
Now that they've shown they can get there, they can be willing to invest more to get back.

Bro, please…we were 5-2. Burrow was sacked 22 times at that point, on pace for 63 in the regular season (more than we ended up giving). 6 qbs got sacked 30 times or less over 15-17 games.

The bengals at 5-2 (one loss being an OT loss to packers) had real playoff aspirations. Are you telling me they couldn’t have done “something” to help get burrow protection?

Instead we sat on our hands, lost our RT and our OL before and after that loss hindered us throughout the rest of the season.

We won in spite of a huge problem

The past is the past, but there was AMPLE opportunity.
