Excellent article Jim!
I will tell you that this is the first year the Bengals have "stretched" their planned spending at this time of year, at least since 2010. I was floored that they got Iloka and Adam Jones and Vennie Rey all done.
You did mention Kirkpatrick and Zietler, but not Eifert for extension. I know the Bengals can exercise Eifert's 5th year option, but do you know if they plan to extend him? My thought would be that they'd want Eifert done before Kirkpatrick.
