Kamara extended! (5yrs/$77M) [merged]
If money is no object and we shouldn't care about it the list could be a lot longer. You can also add the players we didn't bring in as well.
Teddy Bridgewater, Jimmy Graham, Brandin Cooks, Ndamukong Suh, Jadeveon Clowney.
As great as Loomis is, there is still a cap. Even despite a cap you are limited by what your owners are willing to spend. It's been a complaint of the Bengals for a long time. It's the reason the Yankees are a powerhouse in baseball. Our willingness to stretch the cap to its limit is part of what has kept us competitive. We can't control the numbers they spend but I think it's perfectly fine to like or dislike them. It's the same as any offseason concern you have no control over. We've been fairly spoiled by some excellent rookie and FA contracts lately. Not long ago the contracts of Byrd and Gallete were crippling our team.
If you don't care about the offseason and just want to see the team play on Sunday I get that. No reason to complain or celebrate when players stay or go though. Just trust the team to put the best product on the field when you watch.
