mgilgris Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 wife beating charges will keep him off the bengals roster Quote
agreen_112 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 I don't have any faith whatsoever that the Bengals will bring in a stud Free Agent. If we dip into the FA market, it will be for some mediocre player like always... Here we have all these holes to fill and the Bengals just keep passing all these guys that will go to another team and immediately make an impact. We need talent NOW! TE, Safety, Corner, DT, LB, RB, and even DE are all places that we should be looking to make something happen in FA... Yeah we have a hell of a good offense, but a solid defense is the only thing that is going to get us to the SB. Quote

Want FAs every year? Be a Redskin fan, where they have worse records than the Bengals..... Quote

Be a Redskin fan, where they have worse records than the Bengals.....Don't worry AMC, if his contract demands are too much there's no way the Bengals will get involved in a bidding war. While my disgruntled fellow fans decry every FA signing as the "one that got away" the Bengals are doing what they always do and, incidentally, what they say they will do by just sitting on the sidelines until the dust clears to see if there's anything left they will want. My guess is that they may have one FA signing somewhere along the lines that makes everyone collectively shrug. If you're concerned about the Bengals spending too much in FA, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Quote
HairOnFire Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 It doesn't matter if he can play. It doesn't matter if he's a good fit. It doesn't matter if the Bengals are willing to pay what he wants. It wouldn't even matter if the player wanted to sign. The only thing that matters is the hand-wringers made such a fuss about beer boating, buzzing, and stereo theft that the Bengals won't consider a free agent with this kind of baggage. You know it's true. Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 Speaking of FA TEs...so, what's the deal with Reggie Kelly? Per both Hobson and Curnutte he was going to make the call this morning...but it's midafternoon and no word yet. Any buzz locally? Quote
ChadJohnson-85 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 I aint getting my hopes up for McMicheal but I know that we will sign a back up QB. If not a QB then probably nothing. Well yeah we'll sign some FAs when all the good players are gone. All the Bengals like to do is re-sign all of our offenseive players and keep the same crappy players on defense until they retire. Yeah sure let's build through the draft and in about seven years our defense might be ranked 20th overall. Quote
WhoDeyForever Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 Would love for it to happen, I just dont see us signing him. I don't think we have the kind of money other teams will be offering him. I'll be fine with Kelly Quote
