Your point is valid that the Bengals set a value that they are comfortable with and stick to it. When guys hit free agency, if a team offers over that value...the Bengals let them leave.
The Bengals then cite getting a compensatory pick as being a strategy despite the fact that most of our compensatory picks have been terrible.
