Bengals signed Taven Bryan, DT. Former first round pick (2019) who has bounced around. Probably nothing, but an old-time reclamation project would be welcome at that position

I hope he's still the same player after the latest major injury. He was definitely an encouraging rookie while he could be.

Troll me daddy

I think there's still "hope", but those quotation marks are doing more work than ever. Trey indicated that he doesn't need to be the highest-paid, so he won't try to top Watt. But this will still make it harder for the Bengals to justify that $28M lowball. He's going to want $35M or so, and a compromise is going to be a challenge (for an organization that does not compromise).

TJ Watt was just extended. 3 years, $123M (average $41M per year). That will only make Trey Hendrickson more difficult, as the Bengals infinitely drag their feet. Save ten cents today to pay ten dollars tomorrow.

I'm going to say something bold and dangerous. I'm going to say something you won't hear in the mainstream. I'm going to challenge everything you thought you knew about American football. ... ... ... Guards are important.

Very, very good picks. Nice job season ticketers.

Shemar Stewart is not real until week 1. There is nobody with that name. It’s just sounds in a random sequence.

I get it from an "if not my team" perspective. Bills/Lions would be a fun matchup. However, I selfishly do not want either of them to leave the "no rings" ranks before the Bengals.

And that. That is when Drew Sample strikes.

In fairness to Zac, he is 5-2 in the postseason, which is the precise opposite of Andy Dalton.

Sometimes Zac feels like Andy Dalton as a coach. Despite those false starts, they had fun and played together.

He's already there. May he be their destruction.

Bengals backup QBs having banger girlfriends/wives is my favorite tradition.

Oh good, I didn't make any terrible posts in this thread. Whew! Katie is still making tone deaf idiotic comments in the public sphere. You don't know how hard encouraging personal growth is.

Indeed, these Bengals are modeled after those Colts. Even Trey Hendrickson mirrors Dwight Freeney.

I'm unreasonably annoyed that three letters of that terrible acronym refer to adjectives, and the "T" is "teammate". "PHAT" was popular slang approximately 25 years ago. These are totally happening, radical dudes.

Just like old times.

If true, that’s way too conservative. Take a freaking risk.

Every time a Bengals fan dies, their soul essence is syphoned directly to a phylactery stored under Mike Brown’s scalp. You can see them formed as new moles. They sustain and replenish his life force.

SPLACK! *dentures fly into the TrashGPT 2065 Micro-Compactor and automatically re-print on the bathroom matter synthesizer*

I'm sure I was annoying 20 years ago as "Touchdown_Bengals!" (what a creative name!) spamming the forum as a pimple-faced teenager. Now I wake up with random neck pain and have a startlingly growing collection of pills. Let's go win a Super Bowl for fuck's sake. We've all been sitting here long enough waiting around for the impossible.

They'd be well-advised to take care of it now before Parsons breaks the market again. We've seen this before.

I think Adomitis was bad last year, and that might have been the biggest issue.
