Who are the Cincinnati Bengals most important departed characters?
For Bengals fans, this year’s team is just more of the same. It’s hard to find a meaningful player who departed this year. 36-year old defensive back Terrance Newman would once have counted, but at that age, his leaving is no surprise or great loss. Often injured tight end Jermaine Gresham has name recognition among hard-core fantasy football players but that’s about it.
Who are the Cincinnati Bengals most important new characters?
Even more frustrating for Bengals fans is that the team didn’t bring in any major new players this year. They spent both their high draft picks on offensive linemen who are not expected to start this year. Their biggest free agent signing was former Green Bay Packers linebacker A. J. Hawk who hasn’t been an impact player in the past couple years.
Who are the Cincinnati Bengals most important characters?
Quarterback Andy Dalton and coach Marvin Lewis are stable parts of the Bengals story. Too bad they aren’t dynamic.

How will the 2015 Cincinnati Bengals fare?
They won’t go 10-5-1 again, but only because ties are so rare. Pencil them in at 10-6 or 9-7 and then go get your pen a few weeks from now.
