This is probably the biggest factor on why some teams progress and some teams regress or worse, stay the same.
Where do all these free agents come from if no other team is losing any players?
According to some people the Bengals are the only team to let any good players leave in free agency, but at the same time they are bashed for not signing the players other teams have let go in free agency.
Fact is that the Bengals pay good money to keep most of their best players and usually avoid "creating holes" without having a player ready to step in. I think most of us realize that Andre smith and one of our safeties will probably sign elsewhere mainly because we have players ready to step into those roles. WR is the one place where we don't have anyone ready to step in as a starter, so i am pretty sure we will re-sign either Jones or Sanu.
