BengalByTheBay Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 The reports on him when he was cut by Oakland were, well they were pretty vague, but I got the sense that he was not going to see the field again this season because of knee problems. Not too sure when that first started, but there were reports of it from training camp at least. Sounds possibly degenerative. You'd have to think that, as desperate as the Raiders are on defense, if he had any chance to contribute he wouldn't have been cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I wondered about him when he got cut, but not much.Was it injuries or just that he sucked at the NFL level ??If it was the latter, don't we already have guys like him ??He was a beast coming out of college though for sure !!Well being bengals love 1st round picks cut by other teams,Doesn't always work out but if we could get another Nelson,Pacman etc I'd be cool with it.

Was a big supporter of drafting him. Reason 8,944 why the Bengals should never listen to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, he would be worth signing as a depth/ST guy. With guys like that, you have to manage your expectations.As for MJ, he should be resigned. The guy is rock-solid, durable, and a good citizen. You won't get anywhere by letting guys like him go to other teams. Whether he wants 10 mil a year, I wouldn't take Reedy's word on that. Why cut Jason Allen now? Why not IR? The coaches have watched him up close for some time now. If he's a good guy trying to get back on the field and is working hard to do so, I say keep him around. Although, I do find his injury situation somewhat perplexing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted November 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I don't think Allen is hurt any more, the coaching staff just doesn't think he'd be an improvement, I suppose. As for Curry, the fact he's still out there 10 days after getting cut suggests that something isn't right with him. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
