And, before anyone brings up any of the grossly overpaid guys that we didn't get in FA, just stop.  We have already done well in extending Tyler Boyd, and I fully expect AJ Green to get re-upped as well.  So, the team seems to have a plan for it's funds.

Cordy Glenn isn't "great" by any stretch, but he'll be "fine" for this season.  Andre Smith isn't who we want starting, but he's damn good insurance if Glenn or Hart get injured.  Then, you have to factor that other guys will get cut in camp.  This roster isn't anywhere near complete.

I'm actually in agreement with you. I was just trying to think what the argument would be for those who are mad about Andre Smith being back.
In fact, I was someone who said Andre should have been brought back in the Spring because I thought he would be an adequate backup for RT.

For those wondering though, the Bengals do still have ~$19 mill in cap space remaining after the Boyd deal.
They could still give good money to a cap casualty cut from another team as well as give Green an extension.
