I really think the Bengals are being even more deliberate than they think at this point, right or wrong. I assumed they would only look at cut FA
s, but instead are looking all over the place but being careful about it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Zeitler and Whitworth comp picks are safe so long as they don't sign someone for above what the 3rd loss (Dansby at the time) signed for. They'll likely lose more UFA's than they gain quantity wise, but lets look at some of the deals. I don't think it's a coincidence they didn't have visits lined up until after Peko signed for 3.75/yr. I bet you that's the max they offered Barwin, as anything above that could negate the high pick they get for one of the big OL losses. So regardless of UFA or cut player, they're just bringing in a player and signing them as they lose one. Watch them wait until they lose Burkhead to pick up another descent one. Like Barwin tomorrow and then say Andre signs after Burkhead signs with NE or something.
