TJJackson Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 Also, per PFT, Dansby is in town visiting the Bengals...Fantastic news, although I'd prefer Thomas Howard (much younger) assuming he is healthy enough to go, which appears iffy right now Quote
HoosierCat Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 Jason Allen cut. A sign that Rhodes is coming?For those keeping score, that results in a $500k cap hit. Quote

TJJackson Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 Jason Allen cut. A sign that Rhodes is coming?For those keeping score, that results in a $500k cap hit.Dead money or not, this was a much-needed move.The guy contributed nothing but a penalty in 2012 -- and 3.2 million back in the 2013 salary cap and in the real salary dollars kitty for a do-less-than-nothing player is a very, very good thing Quote
volcom69 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 I hope it means Rhodes signs I always thought he was the best safety in FA! Quote

What I get for listening to Reedy... Quote
HoosierCat Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 That's my guess.Yeah, I can't see any other reason for them to cut Allen now other than that they are lining someone up. Quote
membengal Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 I very much like Dansby as a target. Good fit within Zim's system, and the kind of vet that seems to thrive under Zim. Would like that to be a signing. Quote
volcom69 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 Dansby is a 134 tackle a year guy, he is somebody this team needs! I really think if they can somehow get both Dansby and Rhodes this will be an even better defense then it was last year. Quote
Kazkal Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 Didn't Dansby start his career on the outside? Just wondering if they plan on using him at SLB if they do sign him.Also, per PFT, Dansby is in town visiting the Bengals...Fantastic news, although I'd prefer Thomas Howard (much younger) assuming he is healthy enough to go, which appears iffy right nowI liked Howard alot but seems either Injury concerns them or feel he's more suited for WLB then SLB.

ArmyBengal Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Posted April 11, 2013 Cutting Allen probably had more to do with getting Newman and Jones back at corner and less to do with what they were doing at safety.I know people talked about Allen playing safety, but that wasn't his role on our roster. Quote
cincyhokie Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 Per PFT, Bengals taking a look at Ahmad Bradshaw. Quote
skyline Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 Per PFT, Bengals taking a look at Ahmad Bradshaw.Also a fine idea since Leonard is gone and Scott may not be far behind. BJGE, Bradshaw, Rookie from the first 3 rounds.Sounds like a pretty nice scenario to me. Quote

BJGE, Bradshaw, Rookie from the first 3 rounds.Sounds like a pretty nice scenario to me.I agree. If you can get him for a 1-2 year contract, what's to lose? Also puts less pressure on the rookie.BJGE, Bradshaw, Giovanni Bernard, John Connor? Who knows? They could have a very very solid running game in 2013. Quote

HoosierCat Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 If they sign Harrison I will throw the remote through Army's TV. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Posted April 11, 2013 If they sign Harrison I will throw the remote through Army's TV.Would that be before or after I smash it against the wall and set it to fire in the back yard ??My TV doesn't even know the amount of pain coming its way huh ?? Quote
Stripes Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 It's funny to see this flurry of action after such a long stretch of maddening quiet. Seems very likely someone will be signed. I don't really want 34 year old James Harrison though. Not sure he even makes sense in our scheme. Quote
TJJackson Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 Two more signings will make me happy. A third, and I am thrilledSigning 1: The Flesh Zeppelin to a one year incentive heavy contract -or- a long 5-6 year contract also heavily incentive laden for absolutely no more than 6m a year average. Incentives must include workouts, OTs, plus medical clearance and weight for each game. The money for incentives must be more than the guaranteed moneyI'd gladly take one of the other two top ORTs (not including McKinnie) in place of FZ at this point, though Signing 2: S Kerry Rhodes for 3-4 years for no more than 2M/yearSigning 3: Karlos Dansby for 2 years for no more than 2M/year Quote

jjakq27 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 Now this:http://www.nfl.com/n...cinnati-bengalsMeeting with James Harrison?Let the commentary begin on his being passed over by the Ravens and now possibly landing here.Personnnaly I can't stand the guy. For me, rooting for him would be more painful than rooting for TO a few years ago. Quote

For me, rooting for him would be more painful than rooting for TO a few years ago.I'm right there with you man...I'll cheer for him, but I'll die a little inside each time. Quote
Kazkal Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 Signing 1: The Flesh Zeppelin Signing 2: S Kerry Rhodes for 3-4 years for no more than 2M/yearSigning 3: Karlos Dansby for 2 years for no more than 2M/yearI'd be happy with all 3 of those moves though slight differences,I'd be okay with Andre getting 7million a year but be packed with weight and workout incentives...Rhodes I'd prefer only 2 year contract on so it doesn't detour them from taking a safety early plus doesn't seem so bad if he gets beat out by a rookie. Quote
Kazkal Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 Seems be alot talk about Bengals and Tavon Austin,Just wondering what people think of that?I like Hawkins alot and would be sad to see him go but that guy doesn't seem like Hawkins on Crack. Quote
