And yet, when the team finishes between 7-9 and 5-11 in the regular season, we all remember the bargain binning that brought us lineman who can’t block, linebackers who can’t cover, and backups making marginal starter money and thus thrust into positions above their skill level. No one wants the team to blow out the cap. Rather, a reasoned FA period that nets some upside players in positions of need would be nice. The Bengals eschew this for bargain binning and over reliance on the draft. Whiff on drafts and the team sucks, as is the case now.

Stated another way: Who/when was the last FA signing of a guy who wasn’t on the team that made you say, “ Now that was an excellent move!” We don’t utter that much here. Even a move like offering the Jets a late rounder for Darron Lee would fit the shrewd definition. A player with skills that fit the modern NFL, and likely worth more than whoever the Bengals nab with a 5th/6th. Moves like that are what I’d like to see.
Through 2023
