I wish they could get Nelson on a short term too, but then you probably lose Shawn Williams the next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volcom69 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 They are going to lose there wideouts, they should worry about keeping the secondary guys. Sign Jones as well! Get a FA WR or draft one in the first or second round I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I think you can lock in WR in the first. (Unless they take a TE because Eifert will be too expensive next year...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Sounds promising but the thing that worries me is that this source is almost certainly from Iloka's side, meaning they are publicly shopping for better deals. $6 million/year could easily be topped. We will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimster28 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I am not worry about losing Marvin Jones and Sanu, Dalton and Aj Green made those 2 look better than they actually are, easily replace in draft or free agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Eh...I think you can make the case (and in fact our old pal derek is on twitter) that Marvin Jones made Dalton look good because his excellent ball tracking skills made up for Andy's questionable accuracy. Sanu OTOH already proved he wasn't a No. 2 in 2014. On balance I would like to keep him but won't be crushed if he ends up elsewhere, as seems likely. The one downside of keeping Iloka (and I love that move) versus Jones is that it sends WR to the head of the line in the draft. Had they kept Jones and let Iloka go they have some depth to absorb the hit. But the WR corps is now paper-thin. Start scouting first round wideouts.

volcom69 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Good to see Illoka back. Now get Jones back or another good CB and I'll be happy. Hopefully another pass rusher and WR are still on there radar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Some Iloka details from the enquirer: The deal is for $30 million over five years, with $18 million coming to the strong safety in the first three seasons. That three-year total is only exceeded by the deal Donte Whitner signed in Cleveland in 2014. Iloka also checks in with more money in that period than Seattle gave Kam Chancellor and Miami gave Reshad Jones. Props to the FO for stepping up with a top-dollar offer.

COB Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'm thrilled to see Iloka back. I love Reggie Nelson but I don't know how you keep him now. I hope he gets a great deal in Minnesota. Good move for Jones, he's got a good quarterback in Detroit to throw to him. Still think he's too injury prone for a team to count on as a number 1 receiver, though.

COB Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Kind of strange to see the Bengals signing first tier free agents, and doing it this early in the free agency window. We're usually waiting until day 3 to hear, "remember that old dude who played at Ohio State 11 years ago? He's a new Bengal!" Good work by Pumpkin and Troy. Or Marvin. Or Mike. Or whoever is running things at PBS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Where's the money avalanche that is going to scoop up the flesh avalanche and sweep him out of Cincinnati? Andre Smith has to have some value, we always kind of took him for granted I felt. Still, I'm surprised we haven't been hearing about teams expressing interest in him, making offers, etc. He'll be a good starter for someone.

HoosierCat Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Well, FA doesn't officially start for a few hours. Most of the deals now are teams re-signing their own. Since the Bengals clearly aren't interested in Moobs anymore I wouldn't expect any news yet. Meanwhile... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Moobs needs to go to Arizona where he can do his usual couple of big whiffs a game and get Palmer pounded into mincemeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
