Literally, the only thing that is different in this situation is Zac. When Mike says that 'People accept what he says' when it comes to Zac's ideas, I don't think it's much of a stretch to think one of those 'ideas' was to change the free agency approach.
I believe market dynamics have changed and are different than anything we have experienced in the past. There is less incentive than ever before to go and support a team in person these days. Fans have the option to see every game at home or just watch some other form of entertainment; why pay a premium price to solely watch a crappy product? The bengals pivot in philosophy this offseason is not Zach’s doing, this is a new reality and I think the Bengals know it.
