Packers D was about as bad as ours last year.

They signed three quality free D agents and I think two of them are linebackers.

Why don't the Bengals ever sign high quality free agents in positions of need and why in the world did they not sign a quality LB last year.

Don't give me a salary cap argument since the Packers are dealing with the impact of Rodgers salary.

They did...in their minds.
They had a need at OT, they signed Bobby Hart.
They had a need at TE, they signed CJ Uzomah and Tyler Eifert.
They had a need at LB, they signed Preston Brown.
They had a need at OG, they signed John Miller.
They needed a CB, they signed Darqueze Dennard and BW Webb.

As they do every year, they prioritize their own players first and then fill out the remaining spots with veterans still available in Week 2 and beyond.
