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

[Mike M (the other one)]

In addition to everything I quoted, he is horribly wrong when it comes to free agency and draft predictions. He has no inside sources for personnel decisions. A broken clock is correct more often than him.


He claims Mike Brown is the tie breaker to personnel decisions. He also claims Zac Taylor is the biggest change in the culture. As a long time Bengals fan, do you think Mike Brown suddenly changed his approach as a GM after three decades? Or has there been a transition in leadership from Mike to Katie over the past few years that resulted in rapid change?

If there is a split decision on a player, then why can't Mike be the tie breaker still? That makes sense to me, if they can't agree then Mike listens to both sides and makes his choice. His fracking team.

To the second part? Why can't it be both? 
Zac wants a certain type of player and they Tobin drafts what he's looking for and goes after FA's as well, Katie does is more on the back end, contract negotiations, maintaining the Salary cap and so on. Katie lets the Coach/GM do their thing and she does hers and the end result is everyone appears much more in sync now than it was during MB's days of running the franchise. And now that we are winning as well, the culture has really shifted to being a place where players want to come to vs getting that last contract before riding off into the sunset.
