Get picky with the other free agents

The other Bengals free agents aren’t nearly as dramatic.

Darqueze Dennard, for example, could walk and the Bengals could comfortably give Darius Phillips a bigger role. Tyler Eifert, despite the fact he played 16 games last year, didn’t hit even 50 percent of the offensive snaps — time to show us why you drafted Drew Sample in the second round.

Now, Andrew Billings is worth having back in the heart of the defense. So probably is LaRoy Reynolds, a special-teams ace who came over and seemed to improve right away.
