There is a long list of people that should be going into a ring of honor before a disgruntled DE that screwed the team over on his way out by making his value so low that all they got was a 7th rounder.

He was great when he wanted to be, but I'd take all the names above before him for a ring of honor.

Kinda this.  Not necessarily even that whole group, but I'd spread it out.  I'd go era by era.  The Bengals also have a habit of recycling jersey numbers so retiring numbers at this point in their history might not happen, but at least get the names up somewhere.  There are plenty of guys from the years who could make it, so instead of trying to tackle them all at once, start at the beginning and add more every year during an in-game or pre-game ceremony.  

Carlos wouldn't be in the conversation for several years if they went that route, so whether or not his recent breakup should be considered would have at least cooled by then.

I think it's beyond odd that this team doesn't want to celebrate their legacy through some players who've had real impact.  Even in the dark 90s, there were guys who kept the team afloat and interesting.  In each era, it's easy to pick out players who should be singled out for their contributions to the team and city.  I get why the family doesn't want to spend the money on an indoor practice field, etc.  But a ROH/HOF within the stadium just isn't that significant of an expense.  I feel that one thing PBS lacks is a sense of character.  I think celebrating the past and legacy of the team, the Jungle and the passion of the fanbase could go a long way into making PBS something more than the cold concrete structure it is today.
