Utecht - injury

Adams, Hawk and Dansby were just over the hill.
Allen was never a big signing because he was never good due to the knee injury he suffered in college.
Meh. Even if you offer up mulligans for the injured guys (Odom wasn't good prior to injury, aside from his 5 sack game against a backup), the track record is still weak. They basically get what they've paid for.
All the over the hill guys are part of my point with bargain shopping. Jason Allen got a 2 year, 9 million dollar contract...which is a big signing by Bengals standards and a lot of money on a bum.
My point is that they bargain shop, and on the rare occasion they spend half decent money, it's rarely on a worthy player. Then it seems their own poor choices cause them to be even more gun shy in FA.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
