Does Geno Stone think Free safety means you don’t get involved in any plays unless…

And this is what we got.

Bengals FO - We want to upgrade over Hill and Battle!
Taylor/Anarumo - Great!
Bengals FO - Well...as long as they cost under $10 mill APY. 
Taylor/Anarumo - Oh...well...maybe this guy?

For real though, the top-paid SAF is making $21 mill APY.
5 SAFs are making $16+ mill APY.
14 are making $10+ mill APY.

Geno Stone is tied for 20th at just $7 mill.
Bell 92nd at $1.2 mill.

If the Bengals are willing to spend it (unlikely?) and the player is good enough still, there are some high-priced dudes set to hit FA this coming offseason:
- Budda Baker (currently $14.75 mill APY)
- Justin Reid (currently $10.5 mill APY)
- Justin Simmons (currently $7.5 mill APY)

I feel like all are upgrades to Stone, but I don't know if they're IDEAL upgrades given where they are currently in their skill set and age.
