Is it just me, or is it more than just the FO philosophy to build through the draft at all costs (fail to make big move to get us over the top). I see a FO also that refuses to pay big second contracts to:
1. Centers
2. Guards
3. LB's
4. Safeties
When I said big, I mean those who demanded 10 million plus per year
The Steelers also build through the draft, yet the pay centers (Pouncey) guards (DeCastro) and LB's (Shazier) in recent history.
It is almost like the Bengals have a pay chart of maximums at some positions and refuse to move off of it regardless of how good the player. I wish they would make those rare exceptions when needed via signing our own to future contracts or FA signees.
