1: The Bengals need to change how they do contracts to keep up with the rest of the league. Signing these 3 players may force they're hand to do that.
2: I think realistically our outside FA haul is going to be limited but when keeping Tee you just need like 2 outside FA at selective spots and we could be set up well for the draft. As a opposed to not keeping him you need to probably bring in 4 solid players to free up space in the draft to find another WR early.
3: We just have a limited amount of top end talent on our roster and I don't think we can afford to let some of what we have walk.
Does the rest of the league have to deal with 3 maybe 4 contracts close to 30M or more a year? I'm not siding with anybody here just yet till numbers come out.
