That would have actually been a solid free agency by Bengal standards. Our biggest deal last year was Hart's 3 yr $16 million.
I agree Fred
I also think many fans dismiss franchising AJ. It was a big deal and major money cap hit at a risk. I love AJ, but we can't go another year paying a player almost 20 million to sit on the sidelines.
My point is once they signed AJ, I thought we would go a few mid tiers gusy and depend on the draft. I am pleasantly surprised.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
