T-Dub Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Do yourself a favor and don't look at the list of free agent OT's signed elsewhere. Definitely don't look at what other teams paid for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Richardson? Pass the doobie. I could see getting an unknown player that shined in the AAF, but not an NFL retread that was a draft disaster.

I_C_Deadpeople Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 40 AAF players have signed with NFL teams. Given how crappy our OL and LB players are (overall) it seems a bit of a head shaker that the Bengals have signed no one. The AAF would have been a good place to find some depth or even 1 year players until we can get better depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have required additional research and effort by our minimal scouting department. Looking for players from a folded league is NOT what was on the schedule for April.

The small scouting staff really hurts on the depth part of the roster. For example, in 2018 a CFL all star LB, Adam Bighill played for the Saints (PS and games) but was cut in early 2019. He came back to the CFL and was the best player inn the league. I guarantee you he was better than most of the crap LB's we threw on the field. The depth players you look for only have to be better than the lowest guy on the roster. We just don't get enough eyes on the various other areas to look for these types of players that can improve the overall roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a slew of NFL players available in free agency that could've helped us here. Guys with ample game tape to scout, nothing obscure or difficult about it. This FO isn't going to spend any more money than they absolutely have to by NFL rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 yeah, we have a need for a starting WLB. Zach Brown is available in free agency. Derron Lee is available for trade. It would make sense to add one of them before the draft to have a need checked off and give us more options. But it won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what really happened is the Bengals FO never even considered any of these players while other FOs where paying attention to see if there were a guy or two that could help. Little things like special teams, backup, et al all the little stuff you need for a solid team. When the league folded they got on the phone and made deals while the Bengals FO was simply caught flat footed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Unlike most teams, Bengals don't have a pro personnel department. So the folks we do have were probably busy getting ready for the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
