This is the Worst Free Agency I've Ever Seen since Burrow was Drafted.

You stated Bengals did not address core area of weakness which would still be the Oline and that is what we did with Brown. We also decided signing Bates was not in the big picture with other more valued pieces like Lawson etc that we will need to sign, smart move. We drafted his replacement last year in Hill, now in his 2nd year.  Losing Bell was a hit but we did try to sign him, and what did we do in FA we signed a veteran in Scott, no way is this a terrible FA but this team is better than Burrow 1st year so part of reason FA was not as big is we have better players so less need to sign FA and we need more $$ free up for upcoming election.
