The Cincinnati Bengals continue to give indications that they will buck historical trends and be aggressive in free agency. With plenty of holes to fill on the roster, this should be welcome news, as every weakness can’t be addressed through the draft alone.
If the Bengals can shore up the offensive line and linebacker rooms in March, it will give them much more freedom come April. Rather than drafting for need or desperation, the team will have the ability to select the best player available, which is vital for a franchise to establish long term success.
