Makes it's tough to truly compete with the big dogs if you're not willing to go all in or roll the dice big on occasion.
1.) Odom was quite good for us and then he tore his Achilles and his career went to shit.
2.) What's more frustrating about the Bengals lack of interest in free agency is they were actually quite active in free agency between 2008- 2012. The Bengals have regressed in free agency since then.
