Just remember (talking to myself here too), the Bengals are not going to roll in the brinks truck for Armstead, JCJ, etc. They will target tier 2, tier 3 guys. If we're lucky, we pull off that trade with DAL. That would be the move of the off season imo.
I think you are mainly correct, but Jensen was a tier 1 guy in my book. Though certainly not $20 million. Hendrickson & Reader were certainly Tier 1 FAs at their positions. We have signed 3 $13 million dollar guys in the last two years, I would not rule out a big (ish) fish this time. Not Armstead or Jackson, but a half step below.
