The Bengals have such a loaded roster it is time to win now. No excuse for not spending at least $3 million for a vet WR. We have NOTHING behind Green.
Of course Wallace may have no interest in coming here. We have no control over that. but we have to get in the bidding for some vet in this range.
That's exactly in the range I'd want to spend. With how close we were last year, I'd really hate to see this team with a cast of rookies and scrubs behind AJ Green. It honestly shocks me that so many seem to be ok with that idea.
And you're right that Wallace may not be interested, but there are plenty of decent veterans available and I'd prefer almost any of them over raw rookies and guys like Brandon Tate and Greg Little (who is currently rostered). Do people really not want to upgrade Greg Little? Look at it that way.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
