I think the biggest issue (and maybe one this season will fix) is that it's hard to attract top free agents to a loser, sometimes even if you're throwing gobs of money. A lot of guys don't want to hurt future contracts by signing a huge deal to a two win team and the only improvement is two more wins.
I think now that we showed what the team can do with some talent, it will help the next season or two to make guys think 'hey, I can get a big deal and a ring there.'
The bengals also have to understand the market value of a G/C. They almost always lose out because they don’t agree with the value.
