Stud players (Scherff and TW are both studs) cost.

- and as for positional spending our QB room is 17th even with Fitzpatrick. Which affords us considerable cap space relative to the rest of the league. Bring in a rookie, have a good competion and sort out who is best short term and long term. If none are then you rinse and repeat next year.
We are 15th in defense spending and 19th in offense spending. In other words the FO is building a balanced team. Maybe one position is a little high or a little low but I think it shows they have a comprehensive plan for a long term success.

They don't even need to wait, he could be designated as a post-June 1st cut today and it would apply. Wish they'd do it now because the longer it doesn't happen the more I believe he's staying which makes no sense with Kam Curl being the younger, better, and cheaper option.

I doubt the Williams deal is truly for 6 years when you look at numbers, probably more like a 3 year deal. As i said, I don't like going old, but Williams is a stud. Almost certainly a HOFer. I threw SF in assuming they would resign Williams. :-)

Not so sure Collins gets cut. Huge cap hit, Curl only shined one year. I think he's gone year after, but who knows.

Some good observations, I agree about trenches.

Bring in 2 rookies and never sign Fitz unless less than $5M.

Jackson is our CB1 for sure. Had a dominant 2017 where he had a 90 overall grade. He’s been consistent every year

Do not know much about Jackson. Just wondering why the Bengals didn't re sign him?

He may not have wanted to stay there, the team is rebuilding and at age 28 I'm sure he wants to compete

Bengals doing Bengals things, they don't like to pay anyone, and maybe he was interested in staying

Does anyone really want to stay a Bengal? They're already on the hook for $20M+ with Waynes and one other guy, I believe.

What big money FA QB do we have. Fitz at 10M is bargain basement money for 1st/2nd string qb

Any player $10M+ is big money. You can have a dozen such players most usually, given that many $10M+ contracts will be $15M-$20M. $10M is not bargain basement for a 38 year old QB that is going on his 17th season and has never led a team to the playoffs. NOT ONCE. Even $5M is too much. Or did you think in year 18 he was suddenly going to become Joe Montana? Character and accuracy perhaps notwithstanding, the single most important aspect of a QB is consistency. People wowed by a few highlight plays are oblivious to the fact that teams Fitz "magic" leads rarely go far because he is wildly inconsistent. The $10M could have been better spent on younger players with upside, especially guys like Allen.

Signed him for less than the Griffen contract, can't hate on that and filled one of the four key positions. Still think we will pick up a third corner in the draft, Jacksons three year deal ties nicely in parallel with a rookie contract, but not now a pressing need in the first round

Love to see us sign TE like Everett for sane money. Huge money to guys like Henry a mistake, guy is Jordan Reed 2.0 with health issues, paying $10M for good but not great TEs or those with injury problems is dumb. Basically, as roster constructed now, if McLaurin or Thomas goes down, that's our season. One prudent TE and WR signing, and draft at positions, help a lot.

Yeah, getting Everett and allowing the offense to have competent TE in 12 personnel would open the playbook quite a bit with the run as well as the pass.

I’m still hoping T Moss can come in and contribute.

WR, TE, LB and FS still on the list for free agency.

Agreed. I think we would need to outbid a few other teams for Everett if we really want him. I know Bills and Jags are looking for a new TE.. There isn't much of options behind Everett in free agency, unless WFT believes they can find another gem like Thomas.
