Bengals' free-agent philosophy: Active if the price is right

The Cincinnati Bengals are never the team to make a splash signing within minutes of free agency opening. They prefer to sit back and wait for some better deals while building through the draft.

That’s why it was somewhat of a surprise to see the Bengals trade for left tackle Cordy Glenn right before the free agency period last year. Glenn came with one of the biggest cap numbers on the team, which essentially meant the Bengals went silent in free agency afterward, save for the addition of linebacker Preston Brown and tackle Bobby Hart.
