Wraith Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Looks like my contact made an assumption that Collins was with the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I repeat: due to availability risks, if we go with Collins as our ORT - and I am in favor of this - a solid backup ORT must also be signed That solid backup is (except Reiff) not a player that was on the 2021 roster But I doubt Reiff will sign for backup money/role Nonetheless, I am very glad La'el (a cousin of Kal'el?) is in town for discussions If he signs for at least 3 years, I would then be ok with using pick 31 on a position other than ORT - preferrably passrushing 3TDT or man/press corner - but I'd still want the r2 pick used on an ORT who should be fully groomed and ready to start three years from now related aside: reports have Cappa in town. Why hasn't he inked his contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I would be good with drafting a RT specific to learn and backup Collins if they sign him. I think the Rookies, along with the others still on the roster, we will be good. I could be wrong, and they still may sign another guy on top of this, but I don't think that was their plan. They won't be giving up on that many o-linemen to add more and more. At least they haven't given that impression to this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Because he is just now in town, TJ. He came in last night for dinner, the plan was to have him sign today. Karras was in a little quicker yesterday so that's why he got done yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I kinda hope Cappa goes for a relaxing swim for a few hours before signing just to make TJ anxious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Bengals have had the "Welcome to Paul Brown Stadium" up on the scoreboards all morning. Could be anything but I've been keeping a close eye on the stadium waiting for a signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Not feeling good about this at this point. Hope I am wrong. Quote Jeremy Rauch @FOX19Jeremy · 8m Small update on La’el Collins. Nothing done yet. Now being told “a lot of teams” in the mix. Feels like a leverage play. We’ll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted March 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I’m not getting the impression that they are going after him all that hard. I mean, if they thought he was their RT Of The Future, then they should have (and probably would have) tossed a third rounder at the Pokes and been done with it. As is, they are clearly interested, but not “follow Odom to the airport and keep throwing money at him until he says yes” interested.

ArmyBengal Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Hard to say, but that doesn't sound good. For what it's worth, no team was throwing any draft pick at the Cowboys by all appearances. The concerns which have been identified will be concerns for all teams. I want it done, but if they feel it's too much of a risk for what he wants in salary, I won't blame them. Just get Daryl Williams on a plane. Hell, maybe do that while Collins is still there. This isn't asking him to join the Browns. He has a legit shot at a Super Bowl with a truly elite QB. Commit or fuck off !!

AMPHAR Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 "a lot of teams". Just like the number of teams going to trade for him? Free Agent money drys up fast. I doubt there is a major deal for this guy. Teams could have avoided major deals with up front money by just doing a trade and no team saw the value in that.

AMPHAR Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 The rumor with Collins is they tried to trade him twice. Obviously no team bit. The bengals need is driving this fish story that some how lucky Bengals just some found an All-Pro at a big need. Reality is he's been a decent player but that's a couple seasons ago.

Wraith Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 He is the best RT available and getting him would be a huge get for the Bengals. We would have the best oline since the halcyon days Big White and manboobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, no team is willing to trade for a top 10 player? Twice? PFF isn’t gospel. Never been pro bowl or all pro. This is the same crap Bengals fans ran with Andre Smith when some stat service threw out “top five RT” Now he could be an upgrade to Prince. Maybe RR. Effort and love for football seems to be a concern. At one time Cordy Glenn was rated above Whitworth by those services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMPHAR Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 A one/two year $6m a year Collins deal would be perfect. By the way that’s around the amount he was guaranteed on 3/20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
