The Bengals biggest losses were Darquez Dennard, Dre Kirkpatrick, John Miller, and Nick Vigil.

Notice the difference?

I agree 100% Fred

Addition of players minus subtraction of players equal net gain. A simple way to look at it.

Yanda loss is huge and so is Pierce. Wolf added to replace Pierce is big downgrade overall.

Yes Ravens drafted a very good running back to add to a team no need for a starting RB (more of a long term pick than short term)

As for our other teams in division, Ben is a bigger and more important question mark than Green for us

Cleveland lost some very good players too

I think we made our starting lineup better and kept the the other starters for the most part other than Dalton and a few others. So, starters being better hopefully helps depth be better also
