Reply #9: The Bengals haven't gone after anybody... [View All]

...'cause they don't have any cap space. All they could do was re-sign their own free agents - most importantly Rudi Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzedah, plus their center and a couple special teams aces.

All of their money is tied up in Palmer and Chad Johnson, and now Rudi. If Warrick comes back healthy next year, and Chris Perry can kick this sports hernia, their offense will be killer next year.

Defense is still a question mark, especially against the run. Their pass defense should be solid. I think 6 or 7 rookies on defense got tons of playing time due to injuries last year, so that's a plus.

I think they'll go for a DL in the draft in 1st round (17th pick), that's what they need most. But Marvin Lewis' philosophy in the draft is pick the best player available, period. The only exceptions are quarterback and running back - they'll take any other position though. Should be interesting.
