why are Bodine, Ray M, Michael Johnson and Jones still on this team?
Bodine was given three years to develop. That is not unreasonable at all. If you looked at what other teams do instead of just criticizing everything the Bengals do you would realize that it is very rare for a team to cut a draft pick after just 2 seasons.
Rey was never as bad as some fans claimed, but he could have been replaced by now.
Michael Johnson is one of the top 30-35 DEs in the league and is paid accordingly. We could not replace his production for the same price on the free agent market.
Jones is one of our best CBs. He was actually one of the top 5 CBs in the league when he signed his current contract after the 15 season.

You must be a very new Bengal fan. Or else you need to have a talk with Kyle Cook, Deltha Oneal, Rudi Johnson, and Willie Anderson.
