I remember before last season started that I was hoping to sign free agents and just assuming that we were keeping Whitworth , Zeitler and Fitzpatrick. Then we said that Whit and Zeitler were leaving and we didn't do much in FA.  That was mind boggling to me.

Funny that you mention penny pinching.  One of the JN regulars did a "mini study" on a few cases where the Bengals allowed quality players to head down the road, over a few dollars (figuratively).  What he found was that the team typically spends more trying to replace a good talent, with multiple lesser talented players that still can't get the job done.

I can't quite remember who it was, or even which thread (there are so many), but hopefully they will see this post and take the lead on the penny pinching argument.
