Scott can also be this, but I always like the proven commodity..

And if they end up not getting Byard or Scott and start the season with safeties with no experience? The Bengals could always add another experienced safety -- Scott was not that expensive. But if they waited on Scott -- and other teams were interested in him, including the Patriots and the Rams wanted him back -- then they could have potentially ended up without any of the safeties they wanted.

Yeah, they played it right I think. I just like Byard. Hindsight, yah know.

I mean, I like Michael Thomas & everything, but if Byard is within our budget, you gotta call him, right? I do not think signing Scott alters that. We have around $20 mil in space atm. Which baloons to $32 if Jonah goes. Mixon and Collins are candidates to create more. Assuming 2 QB, 4 RB, 6 WR, 3 TE, 4 OT, 4 OG, 2 C, 5 DE, 5 DT/NT, 5 LB, 6 CB, 4 S. We have the following open spots: 1. QB2 (Allen?) 2. RB2 3. TE1 4. TE2 5. OG3 6. OG4 7. CB4 (Apple, Flowers) We are over on some spots (5 safeties, 7 OTs). Some depth guys may get upgraded. And there are some ex-Bengal FAs out there who may come home (Allen, Apple, Flowers, D. Sample, Wilcox, Carter, etc.). We also have 7 draft picks. There is poster on CincyJungle who claims to have sources in the building who says we are having ongoing discussions with: 1. 2 TE (Carrer & Moreau?) 2. 2 CBs (one is Apple, Flowers?) 3. 4 DL 4. 2 OL (new since Jonah trade request) Rapp left without a contract.

Laremy Tunsil stays in Houston on a 3 year extension worth 75m. Huge contract but they are about to draft a QB.

Instead of length, do short-term deals, and when the deal is about to expire, get a new deal and go back to the top of AAV. Cashing in.

CGJ to the Lions. I knew it was a pipe dream especially after the Scott signing but I was still hoping.

The league does not think as highly about CGJ as fans do at this point.

Well, with Jonah's fate unknown (which kind of ties up Collins, too), we can't blow half our cap (almost) on one guy. Mixon will stay with Perine gone.
I would love to get on on Dalton Schultz at this price, but we probably won't with Jonah/Collins/Mixon unsettled.

The Insider on Cincy Jungle says that, post Scharping signing, the Bengals are currently engaged with FAs at 3 positions: TE, CB, and DL.

Not at all surprising. We need CB depth as Apple and Flowers are still unsigned, TE is a huge hole, and DL you can never have too many bodies. When they say DL, do they mean Edge, DT, or both?
