So, how are we doing so far?

Glad Benson is gone and that we signed Green-Ellis. The guy doesn’t fumble! I support and enjoyed watching Benson play for us but it was time to go elsewhere!

We still need a solid DB!! Bring Madiea Williams back? Draft?

WR is now an issue as well. Caldwell is gone, Simpson will be doing jail time, Shipley is coming off an injury and we have Green. We’ll need to add a WR!! Wallace? Draft? Houchmandzadeh is available. JUST KIDDING!! Steve Smith from the eagles is still out there.

[Kazkal]

Only two things could have made it better so far (realistic things)

Would have loved to get Wimbley and for the amount of money fanene got would have prefered we keep him...But I like our adds I Like fact we let certain players walk(outside fanene)

We still need a solid DB!! Bring Madiea Williams back? Draft?

I'd be okay with this we need a FS behind Reggie and Sands & Mays I see both being more SS

[volcom69]

They should look at Jericho Cochery if he is still available. If not I can see them drafting one in the first or second round.

[ArmyBengal]

They should leave things alone and focus on the draft.

Madieu Williams f*cking sucks balls.

There is no reason to bring in a vet WR at this point. Caldwell wasn't playing much and with Shipley, Hawkins, and Whalen, I think we are good in the slot. We need a #2 WR that can be had in the draft and the coaches (regardless how we feel) are pretty high on seeing what Armon Binns gives us. Binns is a big type of guy that always produced in college. No reason not to see what's there.

Collins ?? Check.

Sims ?? Check.

Replace Rucker and Fanene ?? Check, should be ok in rotation.

Upgrade Benson ?? Check.

Nelson ?? Check.

Upgrade Livings ?? Check.

Even though it started off rough, they pulled it together and at least broke even, if not slightly ahead.

I still would have preferred to see more from the team with that kind of money to spend, but just want to see what the draft brings us.

I think we are closer to being able to put a more reasonable Bengals mock draft together...

[cHaD711Johnson]

Madieu Williams is awful.

[combatbengal]

We just lost Manny Lawson!

[ArmyBengal]

We just lost Manny Lawson!

They better hope Dontay Moch, his ankle issues, and headaches are ready to go !!!

[membengal]

Decidedly unconcerned over losing manny lawson.

[derekshank]

I can't find anyone reporting that Manny Lawson has signed anywhere.

Is there a link?

[volcom69]

There was a false twitter report a couple days ago that said he was a Panther but it wasn't true. Have not seen anything either

[Scottishbengal]

http://www.nfl.com/freeagency

according to NFL.com the Packers are interested but it's not stating that he's signed or a deal has been agreed

[ArmyBengal]

I was going to say the same thing. I haven't seen it anywhere.

I can't say as I would be worried either way as well Mem.

[cHaD711Johnson]

Supposedly we've turned up our pursuit of Manny. I wouldn't mind getting a Melvin Ingram in the 1st round to replace him.

[combatbengal]

My bad, GB is interested in Manny! He hasn't signed with them.

While we're on the subject of LBs, RFA Skuta visited the Chiefs.

I like Skuta. Plays hard and gets the most out of his ability. I'd hate to lose him, especially on Special Teams.

Also, did we or did we not sign Terrance Newman?

[HoosierCat]

No, the Newman rumor came from a fake twitter account. That said, Zimmer has spoken positively about the idea, so it could happen.

[volcom69]

Newman for safety, I would think they would have enough CB especially if they draft one high?

[redsbengalsbucks]

Might work well, Woodson was a very good S for years after getting to old to play CB. I wouldnt mind signing Clements next year to be a FS for a couple of seasons.

[jjakq27]

Having seen a bunch of Cowboys games last year, I think Newman is done as a starting CB. He really struggled at times. Not sure if it's his weight or a nagging injury or what but he seems to have dropped off drastically. Whether he could survive as a S is unknown. I'm not a big fan of experiments like that. They don't seem to go well for this team.

[volcom69]

Sounds like they really want Newman I guess Zim does.

[blueridge]

Sounds like they really want Newman I guess Zim does.

I think Zimmer has earned it.

[ArmyBengal]

Sounds like they really want Newman I guess Zim does.

I guess he can't be any worse than Rico Murray huh ??

Still don't care about Newman...

[volcom69]

If they sign Newman I won't be angry, but it sounds like alot of compitition at that position this year. Maybe Newman to safety, not sure how Marvin sees it though

I'm going into the season expecting Hall to not be there, to my knowledge no CB has ever returned to form after an achilles injury. Sign Newman and if he ends up a backup CB so be it.
