I think Iloka and Adam Jones are their big signings and I'm happy with what they have done. If they could only re-sign one of their starters, Iloka would be the one I would want them to re-sign. I think the Bengals will try to re-sign some of their remaining UFAs at what they consider are reasonable contracts. I think they will look at veteran players who have been released (so they don't count against potential comp picks) to fill out the roster. I'm thinking maybe a veteran corner still available during the second wave of FA. Maybe a WR, LB, or OL at the vet minimum if they're not a "qualifying" FA.
There are some vets who haven't been released, but don't count as qualifying FAs when it comes to the comp pick formula. Anybody know how the NFL determines who is a qualifying FA and who isn't?
There are some WRs that aren't big names I think could compete for the #3 or #4 WR spot. I'd like to see Nigel Bradham signed to play Will and I think he would be reasonably priced. If he did cancel out Marvin Jones' contract the comp pick formula, the Bengals are probably missing out on a end of round 4th or 5th round draft pick. I think Bradham would be a better quality player than the potential player they would miss out on if they lost the comp pick because they signed Bradham.
