If they re-sign Chase and Trey and either re-sign or keep Higgins on the tag, they simply couldn't afford a high priced FA this year.
Their success depends on the draft this year and recent draft picks--specifically in the secondary--playing well.
It's anyone's guess how that will play out.
They do have the money. They refuse to change how they do contracts. Always wanting to give big cap hits early makes sense when you want to sell worrying about the future. But the future is right now pack the roster now especially with the holes that we have. We have too many holes to fill in the draft especially when you have 6 picks. We want to add to the pass rush find starters for the oline and possibly starters in the secondary and linebacker? We are smoking crack if we think we are achieving this all in the draft. Start signing some guards right now then maybe you'll be able to accomplish those other things in the draft.
I'm not giving up on the Bengals but I'm with the OP this just isn't good enough. The standard is not to be competitive. The standard is win the championship and our FO is not acting like that is they're standard.
