For some reason, I don't see the Bengals ever using that "smart approach".
I was talking about coordinators making offers to players as head coaches they've coached from their previous teams.
They brought back Michael Johnson last season after the Bucs paid too much for him. That's someone they were familiar with. The only reason why Denarius Moore got a shot last season was because Hue coached him in Oakland. They also looked at Louis Murphy last season I believe because of Hue's connection with him.
You don't believe it's a smart approach to free agency to bring in players you've coached personally compared to someone you're unfamiliar with? You already have established chemistry with each other which is a big advantage. It seems like some free agents don't mesh with their new teams.
