This is one of the smartest moves the Bengals have made in terms of acquiring talent from outside the organization, and its significance shouldn’t be downplayed.
Mainly because it's something that they've done before - granted it's been awhile (Delta O'Neil). But it's still a move that ensures that they don't lose any of their precious comp picks.

I do agree to some extent, we are getting better players than we had before and that will go along way, but Lewis needs to change his approach to games more than anything. Will that happen?
I think anyone that comes in on a 1-year deal is a bargain pickup. Obviously there wasn't much of a market for him, otherwise he would have gotten a long term deal somewhere. Very similar to the Minter deal, which I also viewed as a bargain pickup.
And don't get me wrong, I love both moves and I'm glad they pulled the trigger on them.
