Bengals are hoping that either 1) Westerman is legit or 2) Find someone in the draft.
People act like the money a team spends is actually coming from their own pockets.
You gotta look at the Whole team.... I really don't care how the bengals spend their money. but they might be looking to invest that in other positions.
Its always a gamble... Overpay (by tagging) offer a market deal and they walk to someone that will over pay(or not) let them test the market maybe its not as hot as they think get them at a reduced rate. Its always a gamble.
We have been drafting for turnover @ OL though we drafted Westerman he seems an interesting prospect. We drafted 2 OTs in 1 and 2. Who should be able to play on the OLine. If fisher isn't a RT maybe he plugs into RG. you almost have to get these 2 playing (Obg and Fisher) especially since we drafted them so high. Obg was horrible on the Right. We haven't seen him on the left and they still think he can do well there... (its the gamble they seem to be taking. gambling on themselves and their draft picks)
And while we look at the money available and potential free agents they are also thinking of extending players on the team.
In 2 years Big Z could be a Free agent again if he goes to a team that changes HC or is in budget trouble.
