Bengals will always offer a good contract to someone they've had in their system for awhile even if they aren't deemed "worthy" of that contract. The team likely feels more comfortable in trying to get more out of that individual than taking a gamble on someone they don't know.
We'd be complaining the same way if the Bengals brought in an outside FA that under-performed.
After 26 years without a playoff win, it's hard to argue with their approach to FA.
Oh wait...
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
