Restricted free agency primer
The Bengals and other NFL teams will have until Feb. 28 to tender qualifying offers to their restricted free agents, players who have completed three seasons and whose contracts have expired.
The Bengals' restricted free agents and their draft levels are defensive end Jonathan Fanene (seventh), quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (seventh), offensive lineman Adam Kieft (fifth) and wide receiver Tab Perry (sixth).
Tenders for restricted free agents are expected to be announced by the NFL during the scouting combine, which begins Feb. 20.
One-year tenders are expected to be $927,000 for draft-level compensation, $1.47 million for a second-round pick, $2.017 million for a first-round pick and $2.562 million for first- and third-round picks. Original teams can match an offer sheet the restricted free agent might sign with a new team. If the original team declines, it will receive draft pick compensation based on the tender it offered the player.
Free agency starts Feb. 29.

Post a Comment*Jonathan Fanene should be brought back and used in a rotation at both DE and DT.
He showed last season that he is big enough and strong enough to play at DT. He also provided a good pass rush up the middle and thats something that the Bengals other DTs have had a hard time doing.
Flush them all, they've been floating in the toilet bowl long enough.
Adam Kieft and Tab Perry should hit the bricks. They've both basically been paid to be rehab.
Don't know about you guys, but I just CANNOT wait to be dissapointed by free agency and the draft. Wonder how many different ways the team can muck up this offseason? Please post your ideas!
