Why do we even bother with this?

We have so many needs that I actually do not want the Bengals to run out and sign any of the highest paid free agents at their position.  But just last year we added the 8th highest paid OT in the league and Brown who was top half of the league in pay for his position.

We need to sign guys like we did in 2011 when we brought in 3 new starters for our defense from other teams.  Nate Clements, Thomas Howard, and Manny Lawson were not the highest paid players in free agency, but they all had lots of starts and decent production.

Kelechi Osemele could have been had for a 6th rounder. We have 5 of those. Immediately addresses our need on the right side. He’s played left guard but could easily flip to the right. It’s like they’re not even trying to improve. It’s just the same old reactive free agency approach. Guys like Lawson, Clements and Howard were those 3rd tier free agents that just happened to pan out.
