Over the course of the last—well, a good long while—the Cincinnati Bengals have, more than most, allowed a lot of their talent to walk in free agency. Among those who they let find a new home in free agency in 2016 that isn’t talked about all that much was veteran right tackle Andre Smith, knowing that they drafted two tackles with their first two draft picks just last year.
That was, of course, part of the plan, but growing pains are also part of the reality, and second-year former first-round draft pick Cedric Ogbuehi is far from solidified in his starting spot at right tackle.
