I feel that's the Bengals F.O. single biggest failure. They're way too willing to just "let it ride". Way to prone to hanging onto players that have obviously declined. Too eager to see if an oft injured player can be different next season? On the cheap of course

There's a long list of players that should have been let go way before they were. You can't build a team on hope.

And they seem to have this great desire to "pull a diamond out of the rough", and it's weird. Margus Hunt, and now Murphy, to name a couple. This is a big list as well.

I'd love to know who is making these calls?

We've seen that to be what seems to be a point of emphasis to try to draw talent to the organization - "We honor our contracts (for the most part)!"

They had used that argument as a reason they don't give out as much guaranteed $$ vs some other franchises, IIRC.

As for the project guys like Hunt and Murphy, about every team takes gambles on guys with high ceilings and low floors, at least if their coaching staff is confident in their abilities.

Not every player fits in well with every team's culture/scheme either.
