The had a premium they didn't want to pay and they didn't. Then they turned around and gave Taylor a wad of cash. That's not the same thing as "cheap".

So what you're saying is they thought they could let their left tackle walk (6'8, 345 lbs, 35 in arms) sign a 2nd day career right tackle, and then ease him into the left tackle position while drafting second day projects and singing rentals. That's the definition of cheap...The left tackle isn't a running back or a receiver. If you signed a free agent and they're about to head into free agency you don't have a choice but to over pay. Can't get outbid by the bengals. Veach has been around football long enough to know what's at stake now though. I'm confidant they'll do what they've got to do to sign Jackson or move up in the draft.
