Alex Mack Hits Free Agency

I agree with everything that you say.  I just don't think that the Bengals will put premium dollars on the Center position, just as they seem to devalue the LB position. 

However, fair enough to speculate that as a position group, with the likely exit of Andre Smith, and Whit being on perhaps his last contract, Ced and Fisher being on their rookie deals, and Boling locked into a reasonable deal; they could feasibly go after Mack, but then I would find it unlikely that Zeitler would be in the budget when his time comes.
