Again, had a helluva an opportunity last season to sign Cincinnati Free Agent Left Guard Clint Boling last season for essentially 5.25 mil/season...

Boling grades out well with PFF and he man-handled our defense the season before, In Our House!!!

Worst case, we could have had Boling for 5.5 mil, maybe 6 mil/season, virtually giving us some salary cap room...

Breaking down Clint Boling's new Cincinnati Bengals contract - Cincinnati Bengals Blog- ESPN

And essentially locked up the interior of the line with Lelito for four years making the entire unit near elite again...

But Brandon Browner got the money instead...

Executive of the Year, my a$$; sorry to hurt some of y'all's feelings, but...

In Loomis, I do not trust...

Thankfully we've got Ireland now; maybe he can continue to guide us toward better personnel moves...

90% of the leagues back ups could man handle our D. And Loomis did not pick Browner. Loomis just got the money. Payton and his coaching staff along with his scouts picked Browner. When are people going to learn that Loomis is the money man. Payton has full control of the team otherwise.

Well then, he's not a general manager, he's a cap manager...

A general manager knows to reign in a head coach and make him defend his personnel decisions...

And then I'd ask, who wanted Browner?!? Terry Fontenot, Director of Pro Scouting?!?

If Fontenot rubber-stamped the decision to sign Browner, then somewhere in there should be some accountability...

No, he is the GM but it has been declared by Benson, the owner, that Payton is running the whole show. If you have to point the finger at anyone for not reigning in Payton point it at Benson. In this organization the GM does not have the power to "reign in" the coach. Loomis is a cap manager, that is his strongpoint, and is part of the reason he is here. Loomis has a lot less control over team operations than most GMs in the league have, especially when it comes to personnel.

And I think the hiring of Irleand will help our scouting .
