Back in '05 our entire starting O-line was set to become free agents.  We were able to sign four of the five.  We made Willie and Levi the highest paid OT tandem in the league.

Also realize that the Bengals spent OVER the league salary cap in both '15 and '16.  So it isn't not like Mike is being ridiculous stingy.

I have been critical of Mike Brown's policy regarding free agency, and I will do the same if he is not more aggressive this year.  But I am going to wait and see what happens first.

 

I agree with that.  They tried to make the right move regarding Whit, it just backfired.  Overall, they haven't done too bad keeping their own, it's just when they didn't keep them, it seems they made the wrong calls at times.....a la JJo, Reggie, Whit...keeping Maualuga too long, etc.

FA has always been my main gripe.  I'll wait and see, but I'm just not very optimistic about it due to the precedence set.  We will see soon enough.
