Are there any free agents left out there we're going after ? 2. Again like has been said, somebodies QB will go down in week 3 and we might be able to get a lot better pick than he actually rates ?

With every passing day it's a lot less likely he's gonna get traded.

Yes, there are a few guys left out there.  One that I would really like to see the Bengals make a play for, is Markus Golden.  He's an OLB/Edge rusher.  He suffered an ACL back in 2017, but appears to have made a full comeback.  

Last year he put up 72 tackles, 10 sacks, 27 QB hits, 13 TFL, and returned one fumble for TD.

Originally drafted by the Cardinals, he looked to be emerging into stardom before the ACL slowed him up.  The Giants signed him to a 1 yr deal, and he did fantastic.  He's the type of LB/Edge defender the Bengals will be needing in their 3-4 hybrid style defense.  In order to make a serious play for Golden, the Bengals would likely need to have either Dalton's or one of the CB's salary off of the books for this season.  I'm thinking that Golden will be looking for a long term deal with significant guaranteed money.
