ChadJohnson-85 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share 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.

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. Great point about the focus being on Levi. That was a critical deal that simply had to get done. And not only did Joseph's agent claim that his client is close to signing but there was an article recently about how negotiations had begun with Whitworth and were progressing without a serious problem. Finally, welcome. It's nice to see another glass-is-half-full type join the ranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
