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.

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/

Good article from Denher, who taps some of the Athletic beat writers for possible trades for Hendrickson. Here are the offers: Paul picks the Colts. I could live with something like that.

Tanner Hudson back for a year. https://www.bengals.com/news/tanner-hudson-contract-extension-2025-bengals-roster-update

Well, we will see what kind of offers Trey gets. I'm not sold that teams are going to rush to break the bank and cough up picks for a 30-year-old DE, especially with a draft coming that's absolutely loaded with pass-rushers.

I'm so old I remember when the Bengals were doomed and front office sucked balls because they let Carl Lawson go and signed some one-year wonder from New Orleans. Jeezus fukking Kay-rist people, get a grip.

Trey doesn’t suck, but he didn’t matter. He put up great individual stats…and the defense was still one of the most horrific in memory. If you ever need evidence that sacks are over rated as a statistic, there it is. As to not bleeding talent, I agree. I’ve loooooong complained about it using exactly that language. But Trey is 30, he’s not a building block for the future, and the d is 100 percent in rebuild mode. To be clear, I would prefer to keep him, even for just one more season. And as volcom said, a real FO gets all these deals done. But if we have to lose one, my preference is Trey.

Like I said a while back, I'm fine with it. I'd like to keep all of the big 3, but if I had my choice Trey is the one I would deal.
