Here’s a look at free-agent targets and whether the Bengals should pursue.

LB Cory Littleton

If Schobert is going to have a big market as expected, Littleton’s market is going to be massive.

And quite frankly, at a certain point, the dollar amount isn’t worth it. Littleton is a great coverage player but gets exploited against the run. And while we’re on the topic of coverage, he gave up seven touchdowns over the last two years. The market will inflate his value because he fits the current trends, but this is a case where the Bengals might be better off with a cheaper alternative.

Verdict: Sell
