Bengals safety Chris Crocker said last month he wanted to sign in the first day of free agency and agent Tony Paige confirmed that his client did when he re-upped in Cincinnati for a four-year deal worth $10 million with $3.5 million guaranteed.

"He's respected there, he's wanted and he's comfortable in the system," Paige said. "There were other teams interested, but he felt the best fit was going back to Cincinnati."

Great news! A good, long-term deal for a good player at a spot we've had trouble finding the right guy at. Bye, DJax!

Nice!

It's really probably a 2-year deal but a steal at only 3.5 million guaranteed. Crocker gave the defense a huge lift last season and gave himself a nice little pay raise. This is even more important if you consider that Marvin White will most likely start the season on the PUP list.

It's starting to look like it's going to be one or the other on the Benson/Ward situation. Low man wins, more than likely. If Ward signs Saturday, I think we'll lose Ced. I'm kind of surprised that guys like J.J. Arrington and Correll Buckhalter, specialist types, are getting quicker looks than Ced, though.
