The Cincinnati Bengals (4-6) have let some big players go the past two offseasons, especially on defense.
And they tried to sell fans on getting cheaper replacements who, when combined with Draft picks, would supposedly keep the defense competitive, allowing the team to re-sign Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase.
Well, none of that happened.
As you can see below, this year’s free agent class has been a collective non-factor on the field.
Sheldon Rankins is average at best and is the top of the class so far. Geno Stone has been terrible (85th at his position).
