They cut Sullivan loose after last year. Woods had a great year last year, but had never had a 1000 yard season before that and signed for under $7 mil a year.
Those would all be top tier free agents by Bengals standards. I don't think we've signed that many decent free agents (in one off-season) since 2003. Whitworth was a high dollar signing that we almost never make. The rest of those guys would usually be the jewel of our FA class.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
