How long can a guy continue to get paid for potential? He certainly has a lot of up-side, but he was average at best. Considering his injury, this does not make a lot of sense to me.

DC_Bengals_Fan Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Don't let the door hit that fat ass of yours on the way out.So...how about those young tackles we have, huh? Has a team ever drafted O-line in the first 4 rounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walzav29 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I really thought he sucked. This is another example of why I don't understand the Bengals philosophy. They say they want to build through the draft and sign their own players. Except they really don't want to pay their good players. They do ok, signing their ok players. I don't ever get it, but you would think that they have a 100 million dollar QB and they would like to make him happy. You think that Manning didn't lobby for Saturday? Palmer should have pulled an ELI/Elway at the draft. He'll always regret that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Maybe I'm the only one that was happy to see Andrews sign somewhere else. I never cared for the guy and am sick of the Bengals paying for unrealized potential. Nothing would warm my heart more than to see something happen with the Bengals like you are seeing with teams like the Chiefs and Bucs. That is, hire a GM and have them come in and clean house. What's that ?? You just signed last season to a free agent deal ?? F*CK YOU, you suck, buh bye !!! Next...Never happen here though...

We can just resign him in two seasons when they cut him as a bust! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBengals! Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thank goodness Andrews signed somewhere else besides Cincy. Let someone else deal with his bum knee and huge contract... Bring on a Offensive Tackle in the first round!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Maybe I'm the only one that was happy to see Andrews sign somewhere else. I'm neither happy or sad. The Bengals tried to sign the guy to a long-term deal for more than 2 years and never got a deal done due to their refusal to pay Andrews what he was demanding. To think their stance would soften after Andrews blew up his knee isn't realistic even if the team was satisfied he could come back completely this season. Andrews made no secret about not wanting to remain in Cincy. In fact, he first started making noise about joining his brother in Philly about 5 minutes after he was drafted....so this one has been coming for quite some time. Thus, the only suprise I'm feeling right now is related to the money paid for an injured player. But that's something for an Eagle fan to kick around this morning, not me. Rather, I'm thinking about 7 million per and the comp pick that's likely to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw earlier that the Bengals offered him 15 million guaranteed and he balked at that. I guess that microfracture knee surgery isn't going so good for Jon Runyan. Question about management and NFL history, though. Has any team ever lost players the last two players it used the Franchise tag on, in back to back seasons? Maybe they're gonna go for the 3-peat with Shayne. Sheesh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlainThePain Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I think part of this is to help Shawn Andrews, too. There have been reports that he has been suffering from serious depression, and I bet the Eagles are looking at this as a way to help him out while solidifying the O-line. I'm interested in seeing how Stacy will end up doing having to block Justin Tuck, Osi, Mathias Kiwanuka, Demarcus Ware, and Jason Taylor.

Baraka Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 i guess this building through the draft and re-signing your own players is kind of backfiring.it's too bad the bengals put effort into developing andrews and never got a return.this would seem to solidify drafting multiple offensive lineman.

ShulaSteakhouse Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I agree the contracts that are being given so far are ridiculous - but nothing new on the first day of FA for teams who know what they want, other than the Redskins who defy logic. I really don't care about Andrews, Collins and Whitworth can do just as good a job as he did ultimately, if it comes to that.The bottom-line is guys don't want to play here and aren't going to take less to do so, even a minor bit. Players of any caliber are more than happy to get out of here.How would you like being forced to practice all winter in the outdoors while other guys are getting it done in warm bubble or in a sunny warm climate, for one? :0)Had to throw that in there...

They might as well revery back to Spinney Field, with no AC. I know a guy on the Bengals from my hometown who says that the Bengals will not even get them proper practice equipment, like socks, and that he and a few other players have to routinely take trips every week to get something as simple as.....socks to practice in.

TJJackson Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 This is very, very good news for the BengalsThe high amount of the contract (comp picks are *primarily* awarded on the basis of avg dollars per year on the contract) is likely to earn us no worse than a 4th round comp pick, perhaps even a 3rd rounderPlus - we're not paying a bum who never wanted to be here in the first place, frankly was not all that great, and probably won't be able to contribute this year anyway. That, and this prevents the inevitable "redeemer" offer from Son of Genius. Thank GodAll told, Bengals fans should be R E J O I C I N G about this one!

Kazkal Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 wait people actually wanted to pay Stacey 7million a year? Um I'll pass give me a Right Tackle from 3rd or 4th round who actually played in college.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAPPYJAQ Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 He'll be next year's Derrick Dockery. I agree with T.Jax that he probably rewarded us for developing him with a comp pick, at a round higher than he was originally drafted, while saving us 7 million in the process. Sometimes, it's the moves you DON'T make on players. Hope those world-reknown Bengals medical staff and surgeons did you well on the ACL repair, Stacy.

ArmyBengal Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Chances are he was going to get PUP'ed anyway. It would piss me off to know we spent that kind of money on a player that was going to miss half the season right off the bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
