After the Cincinnati Bengals spent well over $100 million in free agency, many were asking, who is this organization? After all, the narrative in Cincinnati has always been, “Mike Brown is too cheap to win”. Obviously, that is not the narrative moving forward in 2020.
Many factors can be pointed to as far as the reason for this new way of doing business. Some would say that the national media pushed a narrative and the Brown family set out to prove them wrong.
Others could point to Joe Burrow, and the Bengals showing him their commitment to winning through their new-found aggressiveness.
