Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals had a strong start to free agency, but have missed opportunity after opportunity on deals in their wheelhouse to improve their roster. Jake Liscow and James Rapien discuss why trading for Osa Odighizuwa would have made sense, and lament missing out on mid-range deals over the last two days that could have patched holes before the pickins' got slim for remaining free agents. The Bengals' plan appears to be derailed, and while there are moves to be made, they need to prove they can get back on track before it's too late.
