With Lavar Gone, Who's Next?

Ok I just wanted to start a thread since I haven't done it in awhile. With the Bengals finally inking that elusive back-up QB, and with Arrington signing with the G-men, who is the next possible free agent the Bengal's could sign?

If we don't draft a corner high in the draft,...maybe Charles Woodson?

Spain can you guarentee Woodson is going to sign with the Bengals for me? ;)

Here is a quick list of some of the top free agents still left per Sout.com:

Ty Law, Nate Clements, Charles Woodson, AHmed Plummer, Kerry Collins, Jeff Mitchell, DAvid Boston, and Keith Newman.

:pizza:

If they didn't sign any other FA, I would be happy with what we got, now let's have a good draft...and extend the O-line...we DON'T need CWoodson for anything....

I thought Clements was tagged by the Bills. Hmmm. If not, I'd love to see the Bengals go after him. He's a top tier corner with 5-7 years left before his natural ability deteriorates.

With Arrington going to the G-men, looks like I owe Joisey a jersey. :)

Also, let's not act like we care that J.Smith isn't getting any buzz for a new deal....he really does not deserve it. He may get an offer once his deal nears its end but getting one going now is WAAAY premature.

Who's next:

Eric Steinbach ...

Justin Smith ...

Levi Jones ...

Willie Anderson ...

It is time to lock up as many of our own guys as we can.

I agree....But maybe not in that order....

:sure:

Yea I didn't put them in any particular order but now that I think about it, it seems like the Bengals might be going from the easiest to the hardest as their order.

For those who don't think justin should get redone 2nd (after 1 linemen) is because if he has breakout season he'll command more money so might as well lock him up...After this season we can tag Levi well we work out a long term offer because hes gonna cost us same a top 5 left tackle

Were gonna have plenty of cap room in 2007 with the contracts going up +it's raised by 7million so we'll probbley even have enough money offer willie so he'll stick around till he retires

I agree that Clements is the one guy from that list that I would love to have.

But you are right he is tagged or at least he was tagged and even if the Bills removed the tag it would take big bucks to sign him.

And at this point I would rather see the money go to extending the contracts of our offense lineman.

Um he's up after 2006 so his deal is at a end I don't think hes gonna get top DE dollar but I still would like to see the bengals keep him sense he's been our only solid Dlinemen in 4+years hes a 3 down DE who has never been injured he may get 4less sacks then the sack masters but he also offers more then just pass rush

I know that Justin has never played up to his draft slot.

But I think that at some point you have to forget about where a players went in the draft and just go by how his play compares to everyone else now.

IMO, Smith is an above average DE and I would like to see him remain a Bengal if it can be done at a reasonable price.

By the way, isn't his contract up after the '06 season how can extending him be way premature ?

I agree 100%. He is above average and I would like to see him stay. Why would anybody want another hole on the defense?

You guys are right, Clements got the Franchise tag by the Bills. I missed that. That is the reason I didn't list Jeff Backus, he got the Franchise tag by the Lions. So nix that one! :sure:

I heard rumors on another board awhile back that Ahmed Plummer was in the area making unofficial visits...

Too bad he turned down the Bengals before and now all he does is this... :crutches:

I still think for the right "cheap" price he could contribute.

:teeth:
