What if we are trying hard in FA but no one wants to come?

I believe this was one reason to get Tee/Chase/Trey deals done. If we don't take care of players who are obviously elite, why would middling guys think they'd be treated well? 

We can do OK getting guys who have been here before (Hill, Gesicki, Ossai, Perine) or guys with ties to a coach (Slaton, Burks). But for guys who are totally unfamiliar, the rep is poor and we need to overpay to get guys with multiple suitors (otherwise known as good players). 

Trying to "win" on the transactions with Tee/Chase/Trey hurts us in ither areas. 

we have one remarkable artistic receiver in Chase  all we need is a few players to compliment him..Mike Gesicki really is not a tight end..but a very good receiver that stays healthy..The bengals were one of the best teams in the NFL the last third of the season and I am looking forward to next year..
