Free Agency is Over (before it even began)

With the Front office attention fully on Dunlap and Geno this offseason, there will be no money left over. NONE. (I understand you can't tag one next offsesaon, that's only useed on Kickers).

Thus hopes of some help on the Oline will likely be Andre Smith, and LB will be re-singing Minter.

Also the growing belief is that Adam Jones will remain a Bengal so we can't create any cap space from cutting him.

Only good news is they may not be able to afford Bodine (but they'll somehow make that work).

On to the Draft.

I bought that whole FA jazz for a a minute or two.  It tapped into my grasping at straws/anything is possible nerve.  Didn't take long to come to my senses.  Now I just have to say I'll believe it will be different when I see it.

As to Jefro, they have said they want him back.  Who will they really be bidding against?  He will be back and at Mike's prices too.  I figure Jefro is lucky to be in the league.  He will be back.
