It’s really odd that we made a big push to trade for Metcalf  and have not made any attempt to sign anyone else 

Already locked up superstar David Moore

Anyone with functioning brain cells knew Tee Higgins wasn't going anywhere for less than a haul. If we were actually pursuing him it shows we haven't learned and it also shows the FO knows full well they suck balls at drafting.

would have been the around the same haul as what DK went for

To be clear the Bengals front office are certifiably insane they were assuredly asking for more than the DK Metcalf compensation.

I think we were seriously trying for Tee but weren’t willing to make a reckless offer which the Bengals wanted. Tee and DK are legit everyone else this FA is meh. I really think Tmac is the pick at 8

I don’t think he has even been brought in for a visit so don’t think he’s the pick. I’d kick the tires with cooper if he wasn’t expensive. Drafting receivers has not out real well recently.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with kicking the tires. Like I said, I think they wanted a ridiculous return for him and we said we’re out.

It sounds like we did more than just kick the tires for DK and Tee. We weren't window shopping we were looking to buy. But I really wish we could gain some level of competency in drafting. Maybe it will happen. We'll see.

- Looking at last years transaction dates: Dan made his last pre-draft free agent signing late March, he made no transactions in the month of April (not counting draft week) 

- Owners meetings start this Saturday March 30 through April 2nd 

- Expect Dan to wrap up free agency this week

- Joe Person tweeted that he would not be surprised if we brought back Rasheem Blackshear and Sam Franklin
