ArmyBengal Posted March 17, 2022 Report Posted March 17, 2022 And today they completed bringing back WR, Mike Thomas as well. So now we have that covered... QB Brandon Allen also re-signed with the Bengals for 2022. Quote

ArmyBengal Posted March 17, 2022 Report Posted March 17, 2022 If we win a Super Bowl in my lifetime, I could care less if they have to insert the towel boy due to injuries and HE catches the winning TD. I just want to see a sense of urgency and not waste this window we are currently in with a talented roster. 1 Quote
TJJackson Posted March 17, 2022 Report Posted March 17, 2022 Not too excited Kinda pissed about this less than average TE. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2022/3/17/22983498/hayden-hurst-bengals-news-falcons-rumors-nfl-free-agency-2022 https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/hayden-hurst/47294?season=2020 I pray to god he is on a near vet min contract. if they spent real dollars on this ham and egger practice squad candidate Im gonna be pissed Yes I know he was a 1st rounder Yes I know he was good in 2019 Yes I know his QB situation has been questionable at best "If the Bengals can get the Hurst we saw in Baltimore " thats a big if, Sheeran :-) Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 17, 2022 Report Posted March 17, 2022 I don't really have an issue with Hurst depending on the price. He wasn't good in 2019 really. It was 2020 after he went to Atlanta and started getting the lion's share of TE target. Then they added Pitts in 2021 and his targets were cutting more than in half. Those first two seasons of his were with Jackson in Baltimore before he learned he could throw the ball and not just run. The ceiling on this guy is through the roof and he's more than capable of eating up that small 15% target share from the TE position. Dare I say he might actually have a very productive year here in Cincinnati ?? 1 Quote
Stripes Posted March 17, 2022 Report Posted March 17, 2022 Neither pleased nor displeased; it's okay to get a body in here after losing CJ. I hope he isn't the 2022 starter though, or TE is a genuine weakness. Plenty of time for that to change. Quote
AMPHAR Posted March 17, 2022 Report Posted March 17, 2022 Pleased. I love adding former top 150 picks. He has 1 less career TD than CJ and still caught more TDs last year than Kyle Pitts despite playing 4 less games. Probably a better athlete than CJ. Will fit nicely in his role as more of "move" TE. Blocking will still fall on Sample. I think he could match CJ's production and could be more than that with Burrow at the helm. Burrow really elevated CJ's game. 1 Quote

He can match and probably surpass what CJ did with Burrow. Quote

That’s nothing new. This guy is a better athlete than CJ was and I think his career to this point getsndowned due to stats, without looking at why they happened. Easy to forget how poor of a passer Lamar Jackson was in Baltimore those first two seasons that Hurst went through with him. He moves on to Atlanta and Matt Ryan and has his best season. Then the Falcons added Pitts in 2021 and reduce Hurst’s workload by better than 50%. I would place a bet on him having a career year in this offense with Burrow throwing him the ball. Quote

Case in point from Rapoport: Plot twist: Former #Packers pass-rusher Za'Darius Smith is not signing his deal with the #Ravens after all, sources say. He remains a free agent. Quote

volcom69 Posted March 17, 2022 Report Posted March 17, 2022 I can now see CB at number 31 come the draft. I like Apple just hope he keeps his Twitter mouth shut, and his play is like last season. Quote
redsbengalsbucks Posted March 17, 2022 Report Posted March 17, 2022 I would bet Hurst has a better year with Burrow than CJ does in NYJ 1 Quote

membengal Posted March 18, 2022 Report Posted March 18, 2022 Hey all - Hurst is really good. Better downfield threat than CJ. Only three drops in his career. Contract just one year at 3.5 million. 3 Quote

ShulaSteakhouse Posted March 18, 2022 Report Posted March 18, 2022 No idea if this is true: "La'el Collins AND Jarran Reed both having meetings tonight/tomorrow with the Bengals. If that's the case, that's RT and DL help right there if they sign." https://twitter.com/aero_kaneko/status/1504621776902500357?s=20&t=movJYhnwA_smwHjHs3xtIw Quote
