CINCINNATI — Yahoo!'s Frank Schwab graded all 32 teams on their free agency runs so far and Cincinnati was one of two teams to not even get a letter grade amidst a slow start.

The Bengals and Steelers earned incomplete grades.

"Until we see what happens with Ja’Marr Chase and Trey Hendrickson, who knows? The grade could be an A or an F. But franchise tagging Tee Higgins was the right call," Schwab wrote.

Cincinnati has added just three exterior free agents as of this writing: T.J. Slaton, Oren Burks, and Samaje Perine.
