The Fanbase

To play devil's advocate, what does the depth look like behind those pricey FAs on those teams?

I bring this up because I am almost certain that the Bengals' FO is so worried about injuries happening. They also don't want to have to pay a boat load for players who aren't on the field.
Therefore, in their minds, get the mid-tier veterans who comes at half or a third of the cost of an upper tier guy and you can have more of them vs a bunch of league-minimum vets or Day 3 draft picks for depth.
