“We are not trying to get better by losing our best players. In our opinion, that’s not the path forward. Lose your best players, how do you get better by doing that? We have guys who clearly some teams were interested in. Well guess what? We are interested in having them, too. They are good players. We weren’t good enough as a football team. Now if we’re going to lose players, how does that improve us? I don’t think any of those (veterans) are done. We think all those guys have life in their NFL career and are going to be a part of our turnaround as we go.”

I wish there would be a gag order on all Bengal leadership (oxymoron, I know) until after the draft.  Only the Bengals can find a way to piss on a city that has great enthusiasm and energy for what should be coming.  Just stop talking, pinheads.  If you don't do the smart thing and address a few MASSIVE whiffs in the draft by signing some key FAs, then you will be rightfully hammered.  For now, let us dream about supporting an actually capable franchise.
