It will be interesting to see if the Bengals get hamstrung by Tee's contract.

Agreed. You had the angry pitchfork mob yelling "pay the man!" and they did. I can't pretend I'm not excited to have him locked down but with the price tag other positions will likely suffer. It was said above, but we to go pretty much nothing but defense other in the draft than an IOL...and really hit some home runs on the defensive picks. We also have to pay to get Trey back, so I'm not sure how the math works out here.

The Browns get creative with the CAP and nobody bats an eye. Bengals do it and ‘they’re hamstrung now and can’t sign a defense now’
Forgive me for not being too concerned here. They locked down their offensive stars. They do need to hit in the draft but i don’t think they are done in FA. I see Hendrickson coming back and I do see a second tier Guard being signed before the draft. But this hand wringing over the salary cap for doing what everyone in the NFL does is crazy to me.

They needed to sign Tee Hee for the simple fact that Burrow wanted it and the sense that the Burrow era was over would have taken hold amongst the fans. And let's be honest - if they didn't sign Tee Hee it's not as if they would have used the money to get a bunch of D-line or CB stars.

They just to get some solid players in the draft and hopefully Al Golden does a better job than their previous DC at developing players.

I agree except the front office cocked it up not doing it earlier and paying too much to make it happen the longer negotiations went. But I am done beating a dead horse there, glad to have the nucleus back on offense that we inked deals with and it is looking like Trey will get a deal to come back on defense.

Throw in the Slaton signing at DT and replacing Lou with Golden at DC, and a good draft could turn things around enough on that side of the ball to have a good overall squad. We need Murphy and Jenkins to step in the hell up on the DL, but grab a solid Edge and secondary guy that are capable of playing early and the defense is fixable. I refuse to believe Wilson and Pratt are not very good LBs, but rather a product of terrible DL play and scheme last year. The secondary...not so sure really but if the front 7 play better I think they will look better.
