turningpoint Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Sounds good to me, give him a deal comparable to what the raiders gave porter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalNation1281 Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I wouldn't mind seeing Mason in a Bengals uniform. Is it feasible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalboomer7 Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I'd like to have Mason, but I would bring back one of those guys, and if it was up to me it would be Warrick! I don't think mason is too young either(31?) so I would still draft one too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I dunno...I thought TJ was starting to come into his own there towards the end of the season. I myself hope he stays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Troy Brown. If you could get him away from the Patriots feel good dynasty...his projected free agent value is rumored to be almost identical to Housh. Who would you rather have?

membengal Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I thought this post was some flight of fancy until I saw the .com note that Schaffer confirms the Bengals have expressed an interest in D. Mason.I will say this for the Bengals under ML, they are certainly much more of a player and an outside-the-box thinking team than they were. Thank god.Now I get to have 12 minutes of imagining D. Mason and CJ on the same field...mmmmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkendall Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Mason is staying in a Titans uniform. Most likely, along with the countless other released Titans, they'll re-sign to help alleviate the cap restrictions and give the team more room for more signings.

Most likely, along with the countless other released Titans, they'll re-sign to help alleviate the cap restrictions and give the team more room for more signings. Maybe they will. But since they cut him and he is free to talk with any team, that is far far FAR from a certainty.AND, the Titans are pledging to stop doing creative things with their cap, so, really, I don't look for Mason to go back there, or any of those 6 they cut, for that matter.The piper is getting paid in Nashville.Now stop ruining my 12 minutes of dreaming...

The only one with a chance of going back to the Titans is Kevin Carter.They can't afford to bring them back, even with pay cuts.As of now they are about 6M under the cap. A lot of that has to go towards rookies and RFAs...Unless something has changed of course...this is what I've been hearing non-stop from the Nashville media lately.

membengal Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Here is the .com note of interest from Hobson:"Peter Schaffer, the agent for Bengals running back Rudi Johnson, is a busy man. He said Wednesday night that the Bengals are one of the teams that has expressed some kind of an interest in former Titans wide receiver Derrick Mason. Schaffer, who says he'll meet with the Bengals here this week to discuss Johnson, is also trying to get a deal for Steelers running back Jerome Bettis."

kingwilly Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Look for Mason to get big bucks somewhere other than Cincy, though it would be a potent double dose with CJ and DM.Cadidates for Mason: Minn (With Moss gone), NYJ, NYG, PIT (no Plaxico), Baltimore(no WR Talent at all)...the list goes on...

Yes, of course that is likely the case. But, dammit, I get to dream for a little while in February. And, as I noted above, just nice to have the Bengals even make the inquiry.

DontPushMe Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Yea i doubt Troy Brown will be around much longer, ill pass on him.IMO the best fit for us at WR in free agency, if he gets released, is L. Coles. Would give us the deep threat opposite chad that ML keeps talking about, and i doubt he would get more money than Mason would.

turningpoint Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 idk coles is young....anyways I think The vikings are set for Wr's guys, they got a 1000yd receiver in Burelson, and Marcus Robinson looks to be pretty decent for at least 1 more year, and I believe they got another guy, who would be a decent 3rd wr.They also have the #7 pick and like #26( that's a random guess)pick in the draft.So i wouldn't look for them to be needing much in FA, and I don't think they have the cap room also, there rookie pool is going to have to be significantlly higher then others.

With one agent representing both players...I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to sign a package of Rudi and Mason rather than Rudi and Housh?

like711alwaysopen85 Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 I agree, TJ good receiver, P-dub great in red zone... but if you have Derrick Mason on the other side of chad johnson there is no way a D can defend them... not to mention kelley washington as the slot receiver. with those talented receivers, defenses are going to be forced to back off the line and that will allow whoever our back is (rudi/perry/free agent) to take advantage of the huge holes left by linebackers fleeing to help the DBs... then we can concentrate on a DL and a SS to work alongside m. williams in the draft.

TJJackson Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 I think the only reason that the Bengals are "interested" publicly in Mason is to put some pressure on TJ's agent to get him re-signed sooner, at a better price.I don't think we have the money to sign Mason, and he'd have to learn a whole new system even if we did....I'd rather have TJ back.

Really. I tend to agree, at least regarding keeping TJ. But I'm not sure the Mason thing is about pressuring Housh as much as it is an expression of their reluctance to drop a big dime on anyone at WR with FA looming next year for Warrick. And I agree, Mason's price tag will be too high for them, too.I guess we just better hope that Warrick's agent isn't blowing smoke when he says Peter is at 100%. I get the feeling it's going to be Chad, Warrick and Washington next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
