It’s kind of amazing how much of the bengals’ defensive woes of the last few years can be traced back to the idiotic decision to not pay Bates. Multiple wasted draft picks, multiple wasted FA signings, snd we are still hoping this year that Cook is finally the answer. Fowler predicts they’ll fuk it up again with Turner. Quote Like Porter, Turner is an underrated cover man out of the AFC North. But this deal has virtually no chance to get done before Week 1, barring a massive and unexpected uptick. It isn't close, and Turner is poised to play out his rookie deal. If Cincinnati follows its own blueprint, it will franchise-tag Turner as it did with another star defensive back, Jessie Bates III, in 2022. Bates had to play on the tag, before reaching a four-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons in free agency. Turner will be in line for a large payday in free agency, if he reaches it. But the franchise tag is a real possibility here. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/49797170/nfl-player-extension-trade-free-agency#TURNER Quote
ArmyBengal Posted September 2 Report Posted September 2 It would t surprise me to see them tag Turner and then let him walk. In the meantime CB will be the 2027 first round pick and there’s nothing to see here. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted September 3 Report Posted September 3 I remember when there was so much talk about what both centers Matt Lee and/or Seth McLaughlin could be for the Bengals and now not only do they not play for the Bengals, they aren't on any roster after McLaughlin was just waived by the Lions. Hopefully Connor Lew can reverse this trend for the Bengals. Quote
COB Posted September 6 Report Posted September 6 Cordell Volson got cut by the Titans. So far I can’t see that he’s been signed anywhere. Could sign him as depth, try to stash him on the practice squad. He’d know the offense and could be plugged in without some big learning curve. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted September 15 Report Posted September 15 Good luck I guess. Bust 3rd round pick for us. Had a lot of attitude about things despite not being able to crack into the starting lineup. Quote
