kind of sad, Hobson's sitting right there across the table drinking coffee with Mike Brown talking about how there isnt any cap room to get a center and doesnt tell him Jeanty was signed, we have to learn it from pro football talk

We will watch Jeanty have another better than average season only to have to price himself out of a contract extension the following season...

Yep. His replacement will be drafted before the 4th round next weekend. He's one of the guys on the defense that is much better than advertised and a reason the run defense was much better last season. One of the 3-4 teams will pay this guy a ton of cash next year.

I hope he does cash in next year, either here or elsewhere. He deserves it. Jeanty plays football with guts, heart, and determination. On top of that, his physical toughness is inmatched. In other words he's the anti-Chad.

For now.

Wait until he gets paid then rephrase that

I agree with you totally. The type of player a team needs to have. The glue. We need a few more tbh. Whilst being a little unfair on Jeanty as he is one of my favourite players on the team and isn't without talent:

First there are those who are winners, and know they are winners. Then there are the losers who know they are losers. Then there are those who are not winners, but don't know it. They're the ones for me. They never quit trying. They're the soul of our game.

Jeanty has been pretty good for the Bengals when healthy. Maybe he really will outperform due to the contract year.
