while I am not a fan of Bengalswire or the scumbag featured in this article, i thought it worth posting

this after the Bengals said the scumbag was in the mix as a possible starter at ORT

I am all in favor of best possible protection for New Guy, even if it is a scumbag doing it
depends on the cost, but given that it is a late signing its probably close to vet min
if that is the case, fine, np
if they paid him more, Im not happy
if they paid him a lot more, Im angry
They're both injury prone, but fortunately, given their contracts, we're not taking much of a risk and the potential upside is huge
the Cincyjungle article on the new DE does make a good point - he had a PFF rating of 73 last year - which is outstanding - albeit it was with limited snaps

I'd love it if one of you has PFF paywall access and could tell us the breakdown between his ratings for pass defense and run defense
Maybe he's turning the corner? and we are picking him up right as the lights are turning on?
With young productive FA backs signing for 4-6M this offseason.....

.....I'd expect Elliot to sign for about 2M plus a performance incentives, with little or no guaranteed money
He might choose to retire rather than beat up his body more at that rate
You and I would jump without hesitation to grab 2M, but you and I havent banked the millions Elliot already has
Thank you mem
I am hoping for a role player at this spot who is a good blocker, good receiver, good ball security, is mostly available, and at a reasonable price
doesnt have to be a great runner, which at this point in his carrier I dont think he is
