No.

[HoosierCat]

No.

Well, hold your horses there, kirk. Check this from the DDN. We could get Tory James! He was in the Pro Bowl just a couple years ago! Huge, simpley huge!

Tory James update: The Bengals cornerback is weighing his options, and they could include the Bengals.

"There's been a good amount of interest," agent Mark Bartelstein said. "I'm not sure where it's going to lead yet. We're talking to a number of teams about him. We'll probably set up some visits for next week."

Are the Bengals out of the picture?

"I wouldn't say they're out of the picture," Bartelstein said. "We're having conversations, and we'll see where they lead to."

Oh god. If people are complaining about whining now..... someone, please, hold me. (just to clear up, you must have big boobs)

Thanks for starting my day off on the wrong foot, Joisey. I appreciate it.

I only live to serve.

I'd love to be a fly on Ludwig's wall when calling James' agent. When confirmed of conversation, Ludwig said: Are you f**king serious? f**k! Then again, that's why I don't write for the newspapers.

If the Bengals re-sign Tory, I'll join the grumps.

[redsbengalsbucks]

For a big cut in pay and only as a nickel/backup, I have no problem resigning him.

Lol. Thankfully, can't see that happening.

But I don't think anyone has a clue what the hell the Bengals' are doing, not sure they know either.

Speaking of a free agency bonanza, check out the Pats. First $5m+ for Kyle Brady, then a reported $60m for Adalius Thomas, then Sammy Morris, and now they are going after Dolphins RFA Wes Welker, which would cost them a second round pick if Miami lets him walk:

I guess we can now add Belichick, Pioli & Co. to that group of dumb loser teams that foolishly spend big bucks on, and give up draft picks for, FAs, eh?

EDIT: Per Schecter over at nfl.com, the offer to Welker is a 7-year deal worth $38.5m. Wow. Pats gone wild.

I'd support waterboy, but that's it.

If the Bengals resign Tory f*cking James, I'm driving to Cincinnati with a knife in my teeth.

Well, if you're driving, I'd advise putting it on the seat or something. If a cop sees a knife in your teeth, you could be pulled over and then our master plan would be foiled.

[Whur CHad At?]

If the Bengals resign Tory James I will burn myself in front of PBS in protest

[BTG]

Nah, I want to keep it in my teeth like a pirate. If I get pulled over so be it.

[Kazkal]

I'd chop my right nut off....(alrdy got rid of the left one)
