For example the Ravens lost one of the best (8 time Pro Bowl, 2 time All Pro) OGs in the league when Marshall Yanda retired and DT Michael Pierce was good enough to get $9 million a year from the Vikings in free agency.
The Bengals biggest losses were Darquez Dennard, Dre Kirkpatrick, John Miller, and Nick Vigil.
Notice the difference?
Obviously that counts too. Some teams that lose out on good vets spend that money elsewhere. You have to factor in every teams roster change and not just say that the Bengals will do better because they’ve brought in some new blood.. Every team is bringing in new and unknown talent.
