Hugh Douglas

[volcom69]

Hugh got cut today by the eagles, just wondering with clemons out for alittle bit if anyone would wanna see the bengals sign him. I know hes old and isnt what he used to be but he would be a great vocal leader for a defense that i think needs one. I wouldnt mind if they signed him to a 1 year deal, and just let him play in different situations.

NO NO NO NO NO

doesnt sound bad to me!

From the Eagles team site in reference to cuts made by the team.

DE Hugh Douglas ....... Couldn't quite regain his form after off season shoulder surgery.

We have our own injured players ..... we don't need to offer a home to injured Eagles et al.

[walshfan]

better days are way behind him....thought he was done when Jax cut him..Philly confirmed it....

[Bobcat Bengal]

He went to school in Ohio, a small HBCU called Central State University.

About 30 minutes away.

[bengalbutch]

He's lost a step, old and fat !! Forget him.

So, we're not interested in Douglas.

Are there any cuts that we should be interested in, or are we saving that $6 mil of cap space for a rainy day?

I would like to see te Bengals grab DT Rodney Bailey, waived by the Patriots and WR Fred Gibson, 4th round pick (I think) of the Steelers. Bailey played very well in the 1st preseason game against the Bengals. Not sure why the Steelers gave up on Gibson.

Anttaj Hawthorne was cut by the Raiders

And the Shazor train has left Arizona...

Hell with that. He'd be a glorified cheerleader, and he doesn't have the requisite characteristics to make the BenGals.

[StripesNTn]

Didn't we have Hardy to be a cheerleader? Seems we dumped him

Hugh Douglas is washed up! Not an upgrade on what we got already...

And enough Shazor talk....why are people in love with that guy????

[AMC]

the Gibson cut by PITT is rather mysterious...is he worth anything on special teams???

Can't believe Hawthorne was cut! He was an absolute animal in College for Wisconsin. I would love to see the Bengals give him a look. But there must be something we don't know (besides the marijuana positive test) for him to have dropped so far in the draft and now to end up a free agent.

That rainy day is called escalators. If Palmer has a monster year that extra 6 million will get eaten up quick.

Well, at a guess I'd say because our top two SS's are a career journeyman (Olahete) and a converted math teacher (K2).

I would think any incentive likely to be achieved would already be rolled into the cap. I would also think any escalators would affect next year's cap rather than this year's.

I got the feeling we're gonna see Steinbach playing some LT this year. Better to extend him now w/ the top guard salary in the NFL than wait until he plays at LT and wants even more money 2 years from now.

It would be costly to extend Levi but proly worth it if he's 100%. But how healthy is his knee? He was hopping around on 1 foot after a play vs. Colts and left the game in fairly short order.
