ArmyBengal Posted June 4 Report Posted June 4 Is that the place where they are all a bunch of old swingers and STD's are rampant? If so, that's a pass for me. Quote
HoosierCat Posted June 5 Author Report Posted June 5 Great news everybody! The Bears Board of Directors has voted to advance its plans for a stadium in Hammond. So in just a few short years I may be able to hand some tax money to a billionaire nfl owner every time I go to the local bar. 1 Quote

Stripes Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/49012436/sources-bengals-restructure-burrow-deal-free-cap-space Joe Burrow’s contract restructured to free up $10M in space. Who is this team? 1 Quote
COB Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 Nice. In a related development, The copy of “Modern NFL Roster Management for Dummies”, (by Chinese AI), is missing from the school library that Mike’s youngest grandson attends. 1 2 Quote

COB Posted June 10 Report Posted June 10 Does BA (as he refers to himself in his rant) realize the Niners could just trade him to an AFC team they don’t play this year? They could basically trade him and play against him once in the next 3 or 4 years. CTE might be creeping on this dude. Pass! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 11 Report Posted June 11 If anyone is counting (besides me) there are 9 week from today until "Fake Game 1: Lions @ Bengals". Feels like forever but that's 2 months my friends. What's the over and under on how long before that game does the "Start Fast" conversation begin ?? 1 Quote

Feels like forever but that's 2 months my friends. What's the over and under on how long before that game does the "Start Fast" conversation begin ?? “Start Fast” might be the topic of the pre-season. There are a finite number of things to talk about in the spring and summer. Our normal ranting was derailed when, somehow, the family didn’t tell any players they could go eat cake. So that leaves us with early start, Burrow as fashion icon, and Arby’s. 1 Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 11 Report Posted June 11 Ok, I know I'm old at this stage in life. I've accepted the aches and pains associated with blinking and breathing. Standing when sneezing can lead to my death. Peeing use to be easier which leads me to believe the toilet opening has shrunk through the years.. My clothing choices, while still keeping it young, somehow remind my of my father even though he would never wear this. Who knew prostate meds are the same meds for erectile dysfunction? Now while not having THAT problem yet, I typically request Teams meetings, because you just never know. Moaning use to be heard only in the bedroom, now I can't drink water without feeling it somewhere in my body. I'm pretty sure shitting after Chipotle is going to lead to a loss of my pancreas or spleen without me even being aware one of these day. Anyway, sorry I got derailed. What I meant to say is I don't care about Burrow's fashion statements. That is all... Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 12 Report Posted June 12 Thanks Hoosier, just when I thought I had that atrocity of a song erased from my memory, here you come. First no comment on the potato cake front and now this. What is the world coming to? Next thing you know, the Bengals are going to start fully guaranteeing 2nd round contracts... OH SHIT, FOR REAL ?!?! https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/onsi/cincinnati-bengals-rookie-cashius-howell-makes-franchise-history-with-contract-01ktvabf67qb 1 Quote
TJJackson Posted June 12 Report Posted June 12 BTW, I dont see them using the money from Burrow's restructure to get another player They seem to make it more or less a yearly team requirement to have ~10M cap to move to the next season, and I think this is all that this restructure accomplished Its an assinine thing. The goal is to win a championship, not to have 10M extra cap next year God how I hate the Brown family Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 12 Report Posted June 12 I was thinking an internal extension for DJ Turner, but am holding out hope for a Jordyn Brooks trade. Quote
HoosierCat Posted June 13 Author Report Posted June 13 Yes I’d expect them to use the space to extend Turner. And the fact they did the restructure is probably a good sign for the negotiations. This FO certainly would not have spent 10 million actual dollars earlier than they had to if they didn’t intend to use the resulting space this year. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 13 Report Posted June 13 Plus prices always go up. They aren’t letting Turner walk. 1 Quote
Prophecy Posted June 14 Report Posted June 14 Hope they learned their damn lesson after spending more for Chase and Higgins by waiting. Turner will cost at least $10 million more per season next year if he makes the ProBowl, or plays as well as he did this past season. The media has already put his name out there. He'll be too expensive to retain if they dont extend him now. Quote
COB Posted June 15 Report Posted June 15 I just read Dehner’s latest in which he sucks off the Brown family for joining the 21st century (though Burrow should be the one he’s thanking, without his pressure tactics it does not happen). He says don’t hold your breath for any big moves with this extra money. It’s just for the usual “practice squad elevations, injury contingencies and reserves.” So, yes. The Rookie Pool remains undefeated. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 15 Report Posted June 15 And here comes rookie pool pissing all up in my Wheaties. I mean let the fans feel a little excited about the what if's and what could be's before kicking them in the balls. What about a Jordyn Brooks trade to help the linebacking corps with an all-pro player? What about an extension for DJ Turner to reduce the stress of contract negotiations in the future? What about adding Alvin Kamara to the RB room regardless of liking Chase Brown? FUCK NO, you will get injury contingencies and taxi squad chatter and you will like it. BICKETY BAM right to the dick tits. 1 Quote
Stripes Posted June 15 Report Posted June 15 I am still hopeful they'll do something with that money beyond the most mundane, ordinary crap. The assumption that they're only concerned with in-season expenses and roll-over cap is reliant upon them being the same franchise that would never trade #10 for Dexter Lawrence or restructure the QB in the first place. You're either all in or you're not, Bengals. You can't do an Andrew Cuomo and try to weasel around both sides of every move. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 15 Report Posted June 15 Oh shit there’s a new Vice President of the Cincinnati Bengals. Oh wait, it’s just a family promotion… https://www.cincyjungle.com/cincinnati-bengals-news/193237/elizabeth-blackburn-promoted-vice-president Maybe that’s what they are spending the extra cap savings on.

HoosierCat Posted June 16 Author Report Posted June 16 So, about that “long-term backup QB who might be a starter if Burrow keeps having injury issues” we were contemplating before the draft… https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/49074711/2026-nfl-supplemental-draft-brendan-sorsby-quarterback-gambling-eligibility Quote

I don't wish him ill or anything and he may be a really good QB, but I'd rather pass on the headache. Not to mention next year's draft has a lot of talent. Don't want to give up a pick there really.
