Poll shows free agents don’t want to come to Cincinnati

The Bengals have a well-earned reputation for being unable or unwilling to sign high-profile free agents from outside the organization. This may be, in part, because most free agents don’t want to sign with the Bengals.

Robert Klemko of Sports Illustrated contacted 15 NFL agents and asked them all a question: “If you polled your clients about the most and least desirable teams to play for, which teams do you think would end up in the Top 5 and which would be in the Bottom 5?”

In a result that is painful, but predictable nonetheless, the Bengals received zero votes for Top 5 and eight votes for Bottom 5.
