kingwilly Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Oh, and what does it say about Hunt and Clarke that the team has such a woodie for bringing MJ back?Yeah, that's what I thought.Clarke signing is a massive waste...Flushed the pick down the drain..... Could have had WR Donte Moncrief or WR John Brown, which they could have used late in the season as guys were limited.Such poor decisions in hindsight.

HoosierCat Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Well, he's reportedly headed to Tennessee, so no deal imminent.Haven't heard anything about Hawk either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'm still not concerned about Hardy coming to the Bengals and don't view their lack of pursuit as an alarming issue.It's not like the guy was found innocent of all charges. He paid the woman off and she took a "long winded" vacation as to not be available.Since she wasn't able to be contacted, they threw it out. Hardly the resounding determination of innocence.Again, I would hope he did well while here, but I would not be rooting for him. Dirtbag.Some of the other guys I hear people hoping and praying for are still just guys and nothing I actually view as a huge upgrade.On top of that, there's not knowing if they are a fit for our system and (here's the big one) they actually want to come to Cincinnati.They can have an interest in any player they want, but if they don't want to play in Cincinnati, what should they do ??Don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean they should sit back and do nothing, but it's not as simple as some want to make it.I made the comment a long time ago that Boling may simply not want to be here anymore.He's from Georgia and maybe a return home is what he's looking for. I heard that the Falcons have an interest in him as well.Is that the Bengals fault ??I'm not pointing this at anyone, simply commenting.

skyline Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Some people need to CHILL.Any info on Charles Clay? I think he's the best Gresham replacement available.Should be a fun week...And, for the record, the lack of interest in Hardy makes me happy.

I think he's the best Gresham replacement available.Should be a fun week...And, for the record, the lack of interest in Hardy makes me happy.Clay got the transition tag from the Dolphins, which gives them the right to match any offer.I saw he was visiting with the Bills, but the thought is a team will have to overpay him to get him from Miami.

ArmyBengal Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Andre Johnson apparently wants to play for either the Patriots, Seahawks, Colts, or Packers.That is exactly what i'm talking about. Some may say the Bengals could have upgraded by adding Johnson, but he has no interest in playing here.I don't view that as something the Bengals failed in getting done and that is how i'm viewing free agency.There has to be a mutual interest.Good luck to Johnson in getting a ring.

ArmyBengal Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Bills are reportedly making Clay an offer despite the tag.Sure they are and probably a number big enough the Dolphins won't want to match.That being said, I can't say it's a wise decision to overpay for a guy.Clay isn't Vernon Davis or any of the elite TE's in the league.

Nice straw man there, Army. No one is objecting to them not getting a player who doesn't want to play in Cincy.What "some" (by which I mean "me" and I suspect willy) object to is the lack of "change" that the team itself said was coming.So far, FA this season looks a lot like FA last season, when they watched guys walk and the plan to replace them was LOOK A SQUIRREL!Still time for things to change, but I'm not holding my breath.

When I say, "some may say", I was actually referring to ALL of the boards I visit, but include this one.I wouldn't have had much issue with Johnson here, but didn't think he was the best option.Again, he doesn't want to be here, so color me unconcerned.Excited about Shawn Williams ?? Oh great. Has anyone been excited about Shawn Williams since he's been drafted ??Don't get me wrong, I know he's done well on teams, but wasn't he suppose to be a younger Chris Crocker ??Yeah, I haven't seen that to this point.

HoosierCat Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hey, if you don't get pumped about Williams, imagine how excited TJ will be to see Tanner Hawinson at LG!For anyone wanting a summary of where things stand as far as we know, Josh has a good rundown this morning./>http://www.cincyjungle.com/2015/3/10/8176063/bengals-free-agency-update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJJackson Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 to me, the most telling thing is that the Browns - who were quite clear that they were not going to be very active in FA this year - have signed a competent vet receiver (Hartline) (and to a very reasonable contract, btw) and yet our front office, after declaring that they were going to be very aggressive in FA, has stuck their thumbs firmly up their collective a$$e$so our version of "very aggresive" is slightly less agreessive than the Brown's version of "mostly inactive" I know that winning the offseason doesn't earn any trophies, but damn, do something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Speaking of the Clowns, they are reportedly sniffing around Revis. Pairing him with Hayden would be scary. I doubt it happens but knowing Revis he will follow the money and if Cleveland goes big...PS This:so our version of "very aggresive" is slightly less agreessive than the Brown's version of "mostly inactive"is a good line, TJ!

Sounds like the same front office that picked a homeless guy's drinking buddy in the first last year. Moral of the story: Don't envy the Browns.

ArmyBengal Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Also, don't get me wrong, i'm not saying i'm happy with the Bengals being so "next to nothing" in free agency when stating they would approach it differently.That being said, what I can't account for is the fit of a player and if they actually want to come here.It's why i'm not in "F*CK IT" mode.Maybe something comes in the next few days. Maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
