Neither of which they obtained in the first day of free agency.

The Pats are sitting on a million draft picks, and will likely sign a few more key pieces that want to play for a title. They’re doing quite well.

It seems there has been a huge point that went over the heads of you guys.
There are a lot of REALLY BAD teams blowing tons of money to sign big name free agents. At the same time there are lots of VERY GOOD teams who are not (and usually don't) blow tons of money to sign big name free agents. Therefore you can't just make a blanket statement that the bengals suck because they are not out blowing tons of money on signing the top name free agents.
It amazes me how many people claim to follow the NFL yet seem not to realize that signing big name free agents really has no bearing on how good a team or front office is.
But why look at facts. Sometimes that actually makes it harder to claim every move the "bungles" make is a huge mistake because they have been the worst team in the league for a long time.
