"It sounds like the Bengals are going to be more active in free agency"

[fredtoast]

I realize that some Bengal fans embrace the negative and try to blank out memories of the Bengals doing anything good, but the last time we bottomed out this hard (4-12, 2010) the front office signed three new defensive starters in free agency. CB Nate Clements was getting older, but was still considered a top player. LBs Manny Lawson and Thomas Howard were not big stars, but they were both young, and had been productive starters.

Will the Bengals sign any of the highest paid Free agents on the market? Probably not. But I suspect we see them go after something better than the bottom of the barrel projects they usually sign.
