Let It All Thread To Vent and Not Argue About It

That's the real problem here. I get the letting them go too early instead of too late, but Whit was THE leader of this team. What he meant to the locker room alone was worth the contract he got. He should've retired in stripes, period. As for Zeitler, they keep saying they don't value interior OLine. Then why the hell did you draft an interior OLineman in the first round? What was the point?Mike Brown is the dumbest **** that has ever lived.

We rolled over $6.6m from last year that the team said was not intended for this year's free agents. So I guess they're rolling that over to next year. To get down to their self imposed cap this year, they have to be rolling over another $6m or so as well. So that's $12-13m going into next year. If Burfict or Eifert leave next year, we should burn PBS to the ground. The cap will rise again, we'll have even more cap space next year, and now we're adding another $12-13m on top of it. We're going to have enough money to re-sign every one of our own plus a couple of top tier free agents. Of course that won't happen and Hobson will tell us about how the Bengals have to save for Green and Dalton's next contracts.

It's just a joke and the rest of the league knows we're a joke as well. We had 2-3 drafts that we hit on and that carried us to some regular season success, but we've came back to earth since then.

I said the same thing earlier....though I narrowed it down to '10 and '11....if you're gonna be cheap, you better NAIL every single draft.  We haven't.  It's catching up to us now.
