Tobin on his way out?

Listening to his “plan” again, it’s almost exactly opposite of what has happened. They haven’t extended anyone one quickly, they haven’t given Tee a long term deal, they haven’t made chase highest paid non QB, they haven’t paid outside free agents. They’ve done the exact opposite and even exactly what he said he didn’t want: the same team on new contracts. He wants the players who deserve raises to get raises and then go get new players to add to the talent. None of that has happened.  

Many have said, me included, this is the most important off season of JB era, and probably in past 20 years. And two years in a row they’ve failed in the offseason. Last year that showed on the field.

The thing is, the Bengals "plan" never works. They could have paid all these guys in the last couple years and been sitting pretty re: the cap. They didn't because they can't "plan". Then their plan at the end of this year was fine until the market went way up and since they can't plan, they end up holding their butts while the numbers skyrocket. It's at this point their plan becomes, default to the norm, lowball everyone, stand pat and "hope" things work out.

Hope is never a plan.
