I would only sign eight of the 29 Bengals UFA

Some of the backups could be resigned but I agree with you that they don't need to be. There are other guys you can sign for the minimum. They may not turn out to be better but I think guys like Sims etc have shown they aren't the answer even as backups.

Lawson is not worth a franchise tag but hope they sign him. Daniels and Covington are good deals. I am not sure about Alexander but his deal is reasonable.
