Allergic to Spending for Stars?

The biggest problem for the Bengals is there seems to never be a competition for starting spots. It's always "Player X" is the starter until he gets hurt. There's never any pressure on these precious snowflakes. As long as they have dead money on their contract, they don't have to fear losing their jobs.

Williams was not competition for Bell... it was a good signing as a backup.. but our RB depth has been good for the last three years... now with Hill and Gio only.. and a deep draft.. i would not be surprised if we go RB in 2nd to 4th round.
