Scottishbengal Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000473665/article/ted-ginn-jr-released-by-arizona-cardinalsTed Ginn Jr released by the Cardinals ......would he be a fit in Cincy??I still think the Bengals look to draft a wideout, they like to do it that way ......... but a vet FA would help out the Offence and certainly open up the draft options Quote
HoosierCat Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Posted February 24, 2015 Resigning Brandon Tate would make more sense than Ginn. I vote pass on both. Quote

Scottishbengal Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2376503-biggest-draft-buzz-for-every-team-from-the-2015-nfl-combine/page/8Bleacher Report has the Bengals letting Boling and Maualuga hit free agency. They mention finding FNR's replacement through the draft but will the Bengals take a LB in the first or second round where the player will be required/expected to play and make an impact straight away Quote
HoosierCat Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Posted February 26, 2015 At the very end of his latest Choice column, Hobs says the "buzz" is that Geathers will be released. However, he is adamant that they are keeping Peko and basically admits that's because the guys behind him (Still and Thompson) haven't performed. He goes so far as to say it was a mistake to let Pat Sims leave. Quote

Hawk raise any interest guys?? perhaps on a performance based contract it would add some depth and stability to the LB corps ??? Quote
HoosierCat Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Posted February 26, 2015 I would kick the tires on Hawk, but he has a lot of wear and tear and is coming off surgery. Reading some Packers fan boards today the consensus seems to be that he was a great player for them, but he's done.That said, even an elderly AJ Hawk is probably the second- or third-best LB on our team and that's counting Vontaze...

HoosierCat Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Posted February 26, 2015 The ruling has come down in the Adrian Peterson case: the NFL cannot apply "new" disciplinary policies retroactively./>http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/02/26/judge-doty-finds-nfl-cant-apply-new-conduct-policy-retroactively/This suggests they won't be able to suspend Greg Hardy, so if the Bengals are interested in a pursuit, that's one less thing to worry about. Of course, it probably also raises his price tag, even with the baggage. Quote
HoosierCat Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Posted February 27, 2015 Dolphins releasing Brian Hartline./>http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/02/27/dolphins-to-release-brian-hartline/Color me interested. Very interested.(and yes, of course, I have this filed under "snowball's chance in hell" but a guy can dream, right?) Quote
volcom69 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Yea I would be interested as well. Dehner thinks they will address the WR spot in the draft though. Quote
GapControl Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 You see... What you have to consider is the rookie signings for the upcoming draft and the countless injury settlements which will invariably occur. (NOT!) but those rookie signings bring you guys like MJ, Anthony Collins, Eric Steinbach, Ahmad Brooks, . Those are the players you want to keep as your own. it's the way to protect yourself from too many free agent flop-signing.... Oh wait! We let all those guys go, didn't we? So what happened to the money we saved by not signing expensive free agents? Hmmmmmmm..... Quote
GapControl Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 When does the mandatory team spending period begin? This year? Quote
HoosierCat Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Posted February 28, 2015 It's a 4 year cycle, they are 2 years in. Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Posted March 2, 2015 Speculation that the Jets will pursue Boling./>http://www.cincyjungle.com/2015/3/2/8131181/report-willie-colon-jets-clint-boling Quote
Scottishbengal Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 http://overthecap.com/salary-cap-spaceNot sure how genuine the info or reliable the source but if it's correct then this is quite interesting, Bengals have approx $110m committed out of a cap of $151m leaving almost $41m in cap space Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 Anyone want Anthony Collins back ??/>http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/03/02/treasure-to-trash-bucs-trying-to-unload-anthony-collins/ Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Posted March 2, 2015 Yes, I'd be happy to have him back...but I'm not sure if I would give up anything in trade because his contract is a bit steep unless he's going to start at LG (which could open if Boling leaves).Right now his contract has four years and $24 million left (evenly split over the years). This year's $6 million becomes fully guaranteed in 10 days. I'd like that number to be closer to $4 million/year.But contract aside, he knows the system and has played well in it so why not? Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 If they have already said he's going to get cut if there's no trade, then there's no reason to offer a trade.Just wait and then guage his interest in returning. I would have little issue with his return.Him and MJ both to be honest. Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Posted March 2, 2015 The more I think about having to pay Zeitler next year, the more I'm convinced Boling is a goner. So yeah, bring back AC if/when he shakes loose.Looks like TJ may get his wish in April. The're going to need linemen. Quote

TJJackson Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 I believe based on how poorly Collins performed for Tampa, that no one will claim him at his current salary, so I think he clears waivers, at which point we can sign him for vet min.I believe he will revert back to being the quality player he was here in 2013.I'd like to get MJ back as wellI dont want much, do I?They should just try to get Zeitler extended now, if they cant get AJ to the table Quote

HoosierCat Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Posted March 3, 2015 Shorter Hobson: look for the Bengals to sign a bunch of second and third tier guys who won't make the final roster./>http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Model-free-agents/14bbfd2f-7bd4-4270-8181-5277987d72bc?campaign=cin:fanshare:twitterWoo hoo! I can't decide if it's "grrrrr and change!" or "change and shit!!" Quote
volcom69 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Posted March 3, 2015 Way to go Hobson, reporting the same crap you do every year. At some point you would think they would change there ways. Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Posted March 3, 2015 I just can't fking believe Hobs wrote that this free agent period would be just like one where four of the five guys signed didn't make the roster.What an ass.ETA: just to correct myself, three of five did make the roster. Anderson went on IR in week 2 and Allen played 3 whole defensive snaps all season. So woo-hoo.Still an ass. Quote
