I saw almost every team needing at least 6 and some like the Rams who have no cap money need to replace more than 6 starters.
The number signed may not be as relevant right now versus the starters needed to be replaced by each team. Only the top 51 count towrds the cap.
I asked you to show us how we are in worse shape signing guys (starters), so please by all means show us if you have something different or retract your comments above.
Good job doing the homework that Fred would never do. We are in a better position than most teams.
It is the opposite of what Fred said there.
We need to upgrade RG and RT, that is 2 positions, not 6. Just need to bring back our own and we will be better than last year
as we are young and even if we have to rely on say Carman or D'Ante Smith playing LG I bet both will improve big time from
their rookie seasons. Adeniji I have no hope for though and we can upgrade over him with an early Draft pick.

Pro Football Focus' Doug Kyed shined a spotlight on how NFL players want to play with Joe Burrow.
"Completely unprompted, an agent for a prominent free-agent tight end told PFF recently how badly he wanted his client to sign with the Bengals and play with quarterback Joe Burrow," Kyed wrote on Wednesday.
He didn't specify which tight end or what agent, but that part isn't as important. The bottom line is Burrow has helped turn the Bengals into a free agent destination.
"He’s the real deal. Our job, like I said when we drafted him, is to support him in the best way we can," Bengals Director of Player Personnel Duke Tobin said this week. "This league is about quarterbacks and when you have one, you’ve got to support him the best way you can. We think we’ve done a good job of putting pieces around him and we’re going to continue to try and do that."
First, Rob Gronkowski expressed interest in playing with Burrow. Now it's another "prominent tight end" that has interest in signing with Cincinnati.
I would like to know who that other prominent TE is... Schultz or Ertz maybe?
I am sure there are players all over the league that want to play with Burrow, he has the IT factor no other QB has right now.
He not only will be bringing in Offensive players but Defensive players as he already has as our guys have stated.
Wonderful thing to have as it seemed lots of FA's before only would come here for the money. It is different now, they will be
coming here for a ring now as well.
