I would argue we are not done in 2024 adding players as you are suggesting. 

True…. But do you see some solid additions based on what’s out there? I don’t. The Bengals have dug in on absolutely not overpaying for keeping their own players and signing costly free agents that are stars. Orlando Brown fell in their lap. They are like a couple who refuses to go out and eat because since the pandemic restaurant prices are 20% more. When was the last time in the draft we had to find 2 starters? We need a DT ( there’s 1 Sweat) and a RT (we should be good there). We also need a corner possibly. I’m sorry I’m not as positive as normal. I wasn’t critical of releasing Mixon (shocker). I’m okay with finding a RT in the draft. There’s going to be a good one at 18. But losing Reader bothers me. I’ve mentioned I’d like to have seen them trade Tee and Browning for a much better draft. I think they could have moved up and got a second rounder.
