But if we look at the facts we know that the Bengals have shown a tendency to low ball, not like players at 30 and Trey already signing multiple contracts with us so probably not having to worry about other hang ups like guarantees. Then it points to us being decently below those numbers as I believe he would've most likely signed.

I just think this is the beginning of the colossal failure we all should've feared this offseason turning into. I'm holding onto slim hope for free agency but I fear it's gonna be another one were we are silent until late next week signing 3rd tier players that aren't upgrades on paper hoping to hit.

I would disagree they tend to  sign 30 and over, also we have been active day 1 day 2, even if they did not work out with rankin and bell on day 2 last year and the big in in 2023 in Brown.. and sifned more FAs last 3 yrs than i can remember
