There are lots of bad times to be a Bengals fan. During the playoffs. Whenever franchise rankings are unveiled. Whenever the Steelers win. But the worst time, the absolute worst time, is during the first few days of free agency.
The Enquirer's Paul Daugherty had a depressing take on the Bengals [lack of] activity so far this free agency season.
The Broncos signed Wes Welker. The 49ers traded for A. Boldin, The Men are OK w/M. Sanu. This is the difference between teams that go for it, and teams that talk about it.
Maybe M. Sanu is the next J. Rice. Maybe not. Welker and Boldin are known commodities. You can say the Stillers and Ravens have taken major hits in the last week; you’re right. They have playoff wins. They have Bowl rings. They have GMs. Their GMs are very smart. They get some rope. To the Bengals credit, it used to be that solid FAs didnt want to come here. Now, Detroit signs R. Bush.
It’s as if the Bengals have a restrictor plate on their ambitions. That is very frustrating.
