Schefty:

I would agree and disagree. On Chase, I agree. They had the deal pretty much done last year but got stubborn as usual on guarantees and now it's going to cost them big time. 100% on the FO. On Hendrickson, well, they *did* pay him! And now he's crying that they didn't pay him enough. Well, whose fault is that, dumbass? No one held a gun to your head and made you sign that extension. I put that 100% on Hendrickson. On Tee, I continue to believe they had no plans to re-sign him until Burton imploded and Burrow made it an issue. I think you can argue that plan either way. But it is what it is now, and the result is a higher price tag than if they had made a different call two years ago. If anything I have to give the FO some small props here for adjusting and not stubbornly plowing on.

ADG headed for Arizona. 2 years, $11 million. Good for him. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/nfl/bengals/2025/03/11/akeem-davis-gaither-free-agent-linebacker-leaves-bengals-arizona-cardinals/75528821007/

ATTN ARMY ARMY TO THE WHITE COURTESY PHONE PLEASE. DDN reporting we signed a linebacker. https://www.daytondailynews.com/sports/bengals-reportedly-adding-former-eagles-linebacker/GEN2YFLZUNAUTOHEW372FCD6QU/ 30 years old, 17 starts. Well, ok, that’s interesting.

If you want to talk about this you need to go down to the politics forum, happy to tell you what I think but not in this thread.

Good deal. He’s betting on himself so hopefully he gets after the bag. And we get sacks.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GreenBayPackers/comments/1j87g4h/packers_fans_how_good_was_tj_slaton/ tl;dr he’s fine. Average to above average run stopper and space eater, not much pass rush. Basically the big nose we lacked. Should be a solid rotational guy.

Yup. 2 years, $15 million. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2025/3/10/24382545/tj-slaton-bengals-packers-free-agents-2025

So ends the Zack Moss experiment, I suppose.

Encouraging comments. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2025/3/10/24382395/jamarr-chase-tee-higgins-contract-bengals-update

So Justin Fields to the Jets while Pitt is kicking the tires on Aaron Rogers.

Kevin Zeitler is available… https://www.nfl.com/news/top-101-nfl-free-agents-of-2025-ranked-by-position-which-spots-have-most-least-depth#iol

I like Hill and the price is fine. Still hoping to see a few new players tho. Rolling all the same guys out there next September isn’t likely to yield better results.

Welp, that’s it, folks. Whole next season here: https://g.espncdn.com/s/ffldraftkit/25/NFLDK2025_CS_ClayProjections2025.pdf Bengals lose to Baltimore in the wild card round, Baltimore loses to Buffalo in the Super Bowl, we pick 19th in the 2026 draft.

Breer: https://www.si.com/nfl/takeaways-inside-josh-allen-maxx-crosby-deals#_auivp5x3p Ah now I understand. The fundamental problem is that Hendrickson is fukking delusional.

Bengals reportedly trying to get a deal done with Ossai.

Contract details for Mike G: Ford:

Exciting news for Army: he gets to watch more Sheldon Rankins! https://bengalswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/bengals/2025/03/10/bengals-cut-player-new-home-nfl-free-agency/82221099007/

Yah, 30 has been the expectation.

Cody Ford returns. https://www.bengals.com/news/cody-ford-s-o-line-versatility-retained

So I guess both Chase’s and Trey’s price tag just went up again. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/44178418/sources-myles-garrett-browns-agree-record-contract-extension

Gawd that would be nice, wouldn’t it? Might shut his whiny assed mom up too.

Mike G 3 years $25.5 million https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2025-nfl-free-agency-bengals-re-signing-te-mike-gesicki-to-three-year-deal-worth-25-5-million-per-report/amp/
