It'll always be about money so I'm just holding out hope that this might be the year they pony up. You know, the annual Bengal fans pipe dream? lol.
But I'm not, and I'm pretty sure, none of us are, talking about breaking the bank or trying to buy a championship. Just get two starter quality, not over the hill players in or near their prime to take some of the pressure off the draft. They did do it with Marvin when he first got here. So that makes me hopeful.
I thought the same thing. We tended to attract older guys who's current teams didn't want them...like Terrance Newman on 1 year deals. Newman then showed he still had something left in the tank here.
Odom was as close to a Tier B free agent as we signed and we probably slightly overpaid him. (He was also cheaper than Justin Smith.)
At this stage of the game, I'd take a veteran LB especially if we draft White.
