  1. Anyhow, on to the other subject of excessive interest, Trey Hendrickson, the latest is news is that there's really no news. Just speculation built on random comments from various media types. Though the general bent is still towards the team and Hendrickson getting something done. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2025/3/24/24393007/trey-hendrickson-contract-talks-bengals-colts-trade-rumors-nfl
  2. Yes, putting more money into the SB (like Jefferson) instead of option bonuses means more space in the early years, since you can amortize signing bonuses, but not option bonuses, over the lifetime of the deal. And yes that also means higher hits later on. For example, both Chase and Justin could be cut by their respective teams as soon as 2027, but the Vikings would only gain $10 million in cap space versus $20 million for Cincy. It's definitely the more conservative choice but it's not indefensible. The other thing to note is that they have just a skosh under $24 million in cap space now. Cap space continues to be not really an issue.
  3. Assuming the VA still exists by the end of the year might be...optimistic. But best of luck!
  4. For me, the bottom line is that the Bengals just spent a very un-Bengal-ish pile of money and I can't find it in my heart to get too upset about structure. (And by the same token, Shannon Sharpe can go fuck himself.)
  5. I’m sure he’s fine. Was teaching in Nashville at last report.
  6. LB pr0n for Army: Jihaad Campbell. Joe is down with him at 17 if the injury issue isn’t serious. https://youtu.be/zizfAC-_-JQ?si=dTR6ZxnyXoCtDZ-o
  7. Patrick allegedly had offers from NO and Seattle on the table and chose to take $2.1 million from Cincy. I think that tells you a lot about the guard market right now.
  8. Here’s Tee. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/47628/tee-higgins Same cap hit as the tag, $26 million. So re-signing both cost them a net $2 million in 2025 cap space.
  9. Attn cap nerds! Chase contract details: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/72384/jamarr-chase $23.5 million cap hit this year, so about $2 million more than the fifth year option.
  10. Killing time on PFN's draft simulator this morning...traded 17 for 34, 65 and 105. 34. Derrick Harmon DT Oregon 49. Wyatt Milum OG West Virginia 65. Landon Jackson EDGE Arkansas 81. Chris Paul Jr. LB Ole Miss 105. Gunnar Helm TE Texas 119. Savion Williams WR TCU 153. Tyler Shough QB Louisville 193. Marcus Tate OG Clemson I give me a B.
  11. Some tidbits from NO fans here. https://saintsreport.com/threads/saints-fa-lg-lucas-patrick-visits-seattle.520755/ Sounds like he would be a solid backup/depth piece.
  12. Seems like the Hunter extension would be the template for a Hendrickson deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/44321703/source-hunter-texans-agree-1-year-356m-extension So it's a two-year, $55 million-ish deal, including the $19 million Hunter was initially set to make in 2025. So for Trey we would be looking to add something like $15 million to his deal this year and then tacking on $25-30 million in 2026. As I understand it most of Hunter's new money is guaranteed so that's an issue, as usual. And you would probably have to have a void year or two, meaning the hated (by the FO) dead money. But that's all structure. If they aren't going to do something longer, this looks like the guide.
  13. Oregon OT dropping by. Possible second round target. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2025/3/20/24389845/oregon-ducks-josh-conerly-bengals-pre-draft-visit
  14. Well, I hope you enjoy it. I’ve found my tolerance for not-actual-games sports stuff has declined in recent years.
  15. Graham is a top 10 lock. If they go that direction, Grant will probably be there. But I would think they would wait until later.
  16. Burrow is down with a trip to Spain next season. The current rumor (suppoosedly) comes from a leak from Madrid's mayor. Again supposedly, the date would be Nov. 16.
  17. It’s just official. They were in town to sign the contracts and talk to the press. I checked in with Mike and he confirmed that not only were they not signing anyone else, but next season nosebleed tix will start at $1,000.00 and a beer will cost $250.
  18. Reportedly it was the Garrett deal that cost them. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25172682-schefter-bengals-had-re-do-jamarr-chases-contract-after-myles-garretts-deal
  19. Bookface group passed along a tweet from Gridiron Grading that the Bengals are bringing Emannwori in for a pre draft visit.
