I would not want to be in charge of the Cincinnati Bengals’ front office starting next week, but I would love to be a fly on the wall listening in to hear their decisions and how they make them.
March 11th begins the free agency period, and it’s going to be madness for a few days while some teams make major splashes in the market, and others sit back and wait for the draft.
Cincinnati, unfortunately, was never known as a team to make a splash. Up until a few years ago, they did the same thing year in and year out, finish the season (without a playoff run), skip free agency, sign some low-end veterans, and draft a handful of decent players, some of whom turned out to be impactful and franchise-changing talents while others were major busts.
