The Cincinnati Bengals front office is notorious for being conservative and refusing to do much in free agency or on the trade market. Now is the time for the team to do some soul-searching. They may be content with their current roster but the first preseason game showed major weaknesses among the linebackers. The first unit offensive line performed well, but in such limited action, it is hard to believe they improved significantly from last year. Early in this preseason, they still have options to strengthen their team before Week 1.
As the Zac Taylor era begins in earnest, the Bengals will eventually be faced with decisions regarding personnel.
