They will obviously being paying Joe more than Herbert and Joe is saying they think they will be able to keep everyone. I am VERY interested to see how they are going to structure his deal to make that happen. I don't have a reason to doubt him, but his confidence in this matter intrigues me greatly. Make it happen front office !!!

Game on. Get above that and move on.

I saw that Norwell was released and thought the same thing TJ. Don’t know if he beats out the other OG’s at this point but worth the look for sure. It would be a good story !!

I can't stand that dude either. Not like his absence is going to hurt Michigan against those initial teams on the schedule.

At least he's still hitting up games and shit at 88. We should all be that fortunate !!

I have no issue with that line of thought either.

There is a whole thread on a Ravens forum dedicated to Mike Brown calling players hogs. Really? That's what's stirring up the football world at this point. An analogy? Are the players upset? Are they threatening a hold out over this? Or are they getting ready for another Super Bowl run? But hey, lets continue the narrative of Mike Brown being cheap as a way of explaining the analogy he used. That sounds like a good use of time.

Nothing says "upgrades" like increasing the likelihood of intoxicated fans. I do like the graphics though and think more should be done in that regard. Maybe they do this, maybe they don't, but I would like to see them put a package together that if you buy either season tickets or the multigame packages of tickets, you could get some kind of advanced ticket option for future concert events at Paul Brown Stadium. If they do this already, then disregard. I wasn't aware that you couldn't simply get on a waitlist for club level season tickets. You have to have season tickets typically starting in the uppers. After a few years, upgrade to the endzone, after a few years, upgrade to the sidelines in the lower bowl, after a few more years, maybe you get a chance at club level seats, maybe not. So "maybe" in 10 years you get the chance at those tickets. I just didn't know that's how they did that.

So much for all these RB's getting together and "solving" the problem facing their position within the league. Lets keep that group away from addressing real problems facing this country.

Time for that team to be able to move on from all the nonsense and get back to football. Their fanbase has been highjacked for far too long.

More aggressive and I usually don't care for women who attempt this style, but this crushes !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2dcpBhpxtM

Saw where Gardner-Johnson's knee injury isn't season ending. Happy for him.

I think that's wrong. I think it's 100% of the signing bonus is paid up front.

Only so many bottles of Gatorade you can hand out for free.

Now we have someone upset in the comments because he used the word "hogs" to make his analogy. Jesus... if hogs was the worst word I have been called in my life, I would consider that a huge win. That aside, it goes back to that saying of, "You can't pay everyone". For anyone not following, the team has already experienced this. Jessie Bates, Vonn Bell, Hayden Hurst and Samaje Perrine all left this year alone. Every team (especially the good ones) goes through this. Our Bengals will be no exception. Honestly though, we haven't had players of this caliber, needing market setting deals in some time. I will be curiously waiting to see how the team handles it moving forward. God knows their philosophy has already changed dramatically.

I actually like Tobin's approach. Keep asking me and I'm going to keep saying the same thing. I'm glad this isn't a back and forth in the media. It will get done and we will move on from there. No worries from my standpoint.

So on the o-line I guess D'Ante Smith's time has run out and FA Cody Ford gets the axe. There are going to be some solid depth guys from the D-line that won't make this team. I honestly don't remember, did they only carry 4 LB's last year? Seems thin, but whatever. Sidney Jones is a CB and if they carry him that way, he makes it over DJ Ivey (practice squad) and allows them to keep Tycen Anderson. Or maybe Anderson just isn't healthy still? Maybe Jones as well? I've been out of the loop for the last 4-5 days, so playing a little catch up.

I really do hate to see that for any player regardless of the team. Maybe he just tweaked it hard and he won't miss the whole dang season. We talked about him here.

Thankfully him not being able to pitch has no bearing on him tackling the shit out of someone !! That being said, he’s no worse than some of the pitching I’ve seen from the Reds !!

I think they’ve proven their approach to this point has worked more often than not. I have no concerns.

I’m equally excited to watch some of the free agents we brought in as well. I think it’s easy to forget those guys when adding new shiny rookies, but they will make an impact this season. I want to see Orlando Brown in stripes, but Nick Scott, Sidney Jones, Irv Smith, and even DE Tarell Basham. Those guys are going to be seen for sure !!

Barkley is a year younger than Mixon and isn't getting younger. If the Giants offered him 12.5 per year and he turned it down with two seasons either being lost or impacted by injury, he's crazy. Sucks RB's salaries aren't nearly 20 million, with continued expected growth, but it's too risky for a team to do that. Teams finding starting RB's in late rounds that produce isn't helping their case either. Like it or not, it's not one of those positions that teams are valuing as much as they once did. Maybe that changes in the future, maybe not.

So will the play of Chase Brown at RB. With Perrine gone, I think Brown will get more than enough snaps to show whether or not he's capable to be the lead RB or not. I'm rooting for Mixon to have a great year and would him to stick around, but I simultaneously want Brown to Hulk the f*ck out this year.
