If we don't get a reciever in fa or resign our own, we would most likely draft one the next year or two anyway very high.  Many times #1 receivers who hit fa the first time are 27-28but him being 25 means you could really sign him to a 7 year contract.  He doesn't really rely on his speed. Rather his physical body, going up at highest point, winning contested balls...Similar to marshal & Fitzgerald

*please note I know this will not happen, but it's silly we continue to pay people great money when they are average. Or slightly above*.  The bengals FO is loyal to a fault.  It's nice to see people live out their contracts but it's not responsible to have your 3rd or 4th best corner be one of your highest paid players.  We could literally free up on a given year 15-20m and sign 1 or 2 difference makers and fill in the gaps with similar marginal talent.

......ya know.....I think this is just insane enough to be a good idea.  Unfortunately, you are right, won't happen.  That said, if the team was serious about contending, they'd do something like this.
