This may be the final season we see the Bengals' core of four straight playoff teams together.
The Bengals will once again have one of the NFL's most talented rosters when the 2015 season opens.
The problem is age and free agency could change that drastically next year. With guys like Andrew Whitworth, Andre Smith, Leon Hall, George Iloka and Marvin Jones hitting free agency next year, this may be the final chance this team has to make a deep playoff run together.
The Bengals know that's the case and they echoed as much in a Monday meeting with the media.
