Kazkal Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 Even browns are about to sign wimbley...... >_< and we still haven't got a 7th rounder even inked ;p Quote
ChadJohnson-85 Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 Yeah this is just stupid, ML needs to hurry his @$$ up and sign some players! Quote
Kazkal Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Posted July 22, 2006 I know its a week but we have alot of contracts to do in 1 week.Eric & levi said they want their contracts done before training camp...+ 8 rookies when we haven't even signed later round guys yet. Quote
ChadJohnson-85 Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 Browns sign Wimbley.. Ah hah!http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news_room/n...rts/5508.0.htmlYeah good job Browns! Im sure he'll help the Browns go 3-13 this year. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 I don't think there is to much to be concerned about, it will get done. Be patient young grasshopper !!!WHODEY !!! Quote
walshfan Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 so it will make many of you happy if a 7th rounder signs?....sigh.... Quote
sparky151 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 Signing the 7th rounders won't make me happy but not having them signed makes me unhappy in that it indicates how far behind the curve the team is. We've wasted a lot of time this summer that could have been used to get things done. Quote
Spor_tees Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 The Bengals never want to be the first to get rookie contracts done because they want to wait til other teams sign their players, so that the Bengals can "slot" them. By signing players first the Bengals take the chance of over paying a player and there is no way on God's green earth that Mikey-boy would ever do that! Quote
Kazkal Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Posted July 23, 2006 so it will make many of you happy if a 7th rounder signs?....sigh....Just to see their getting something done + their suppossed be our special teamers who will actually get playing times =) Quote
jditty47 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 um how is our front office supposed to do new contract signings when they are dealing with the police departments all across the nation? Quote
membengal Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 Just sticky this thread for use every year... Quote
kingwilly Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 ...wouldn't have anything to do with the complications and delay surrounding figuring out how to add "in the event you get your sorry aZZ arested" clauses to all the contracts...nope. this is not a distraction in the least. move along. nothing to see here.

Kazkal Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Posted July 24, 2006 Ya they gotta protect themselves from peko peeing again.Browns have 9 out 10 signed with only 3rd rounder left to go. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 Marvin Lewis (Jul 24, 2006 12:22:42 PM)To bigfish24: We expect to have the majority of our picks signed by Friday, so that they may participate at the opening of camp Saturday evening.This is from the Marvin chat today...WHODEY !!! Quote
HoTbOy Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 I would at least like to see JJoseph signed, since they said he was looking real good in mini-camp...and how he was giving KRatliff a run for the nickel corner... Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 Joseph would be nice, but to tell you the truth, I'd like to see the rookie LB's done in order to get them in there and start learning as soon as possible with all the concern over Odell. Joseph would be nice though !!!WHODEY !!! Quote
Ox Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 I'm just curious... I wonder if Brooks will be inked before everyone but Joseph? With all the hype surrounding this guys talent, I wouldn't be suprised. Quote
Stripes Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 I'm just curious... I wonder if Brooks will be inked before everyone but Joseph? With all the hype surrounding this guys talent, I wouldn't be suprised.I wouldn't be surprised either. He's in the most urgent position to get signed and find a place on the team, being a supplemental pick and all. It depends on how he deals with his agent though, like all the other rooks. Quote
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 By the way, what makes you think that none of our picks have signed? Just because nothing has been released doesn't mean that people don't have deals done and the Bengals have decided to time the release of the signings on their schedule. It wouldn't be a first! Quote

Just because nothing has been released doesn't mean that people don't have deals done and the Bengals have decided to time the release of the signings on their schedule. It wouldn't be a first!I think the agents leak the signings as soon as they're completed. It's a feather in their cap if they're able to get deals done . . . Quote

However, that doesn't mean the Bengals aren't known for holding back info. Agents can be convinced to keep signings out of the press, if it suits their clients. Quote
rishipatel Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Hi all...long time reader, first time poster. I think that it's highly likely that progress has been made on at least some of the rookie signings. Although I'm not sure that I buy the idea that anyone has actually been signed already and that the bengals are keeping it a big secret. The management surely would have wanted some "positive" headlines to dampen the blow of all the law-breaking headlines. Even though it would not have changed the national media perspective, the fans and media in Cinci would have had something good to focus on.That said, I think that we need to remember that most teams don't have their picks signed due the the impact of the new CBA and that in the case of the bengals, its not vital to get them signed early since none are projected to be starters. Also, we obviously were focusing on signing Levi since that news broke today, and now we'll get some of the rookies done. Hobson's article today mentions that Joseph is close to signing.All in all, we're going to be fine. The glass is half full. We're finally a good team after so many years in the cellar. Quote
