Also, the same argument continues. You have some people who want to be active in free agency and another group who says breaking the bank is a bad idea. There is middle ground. It would be possible for the Bengals to sign impact free agents who don't break the bank. I'd love Mosley if nothing other than to screw over Baltimore. However, there are LB upgrades that would cost significantly less. Wanting to sign impact outside free agents does not mean use all of our cap space and put us in cap hell.
I agree we need to manage the cap well. But, we have never been close to real cap hell. I see teams sign high profiles guys when it appears they have no cap space? I remember Ravens getting Dumervil years ago at trade deadline and they had no cap space. My point is other GM's seem to manage it be cutting or restructuring contracts to get "the guy", but not us, not ever will the FO take a leap of faith to date.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
