jbengals1 Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 I was in a Bengals "yahoo" chat room and somebody mentioned that Curtis Conway might become a bengal.......this peaked my interest so i am wondering.... 1 - do we have enough room for him2 - is this just a rumor3 - anybody thoughts on him Quote
jbengals1 Posted March 9, 2004 Author Report Posted March 9, 2004 Wide receiver Curtis Conway was released by the New York Jets three days after the team acquired Justin McCareins in a trade Quote
teenbengal14 Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 Do we really need another reciever? yes we could always use recievers and then get rid of tj Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 We don't need a reciever. We need DEFENSE! Quote
Kirkendall Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 I think we still need another receiver, but with Walter the fourth stringer, we just need someone that puts an 80-89 jersey on; nothing great. I just don't think we have any use for a 2nd or 3rd string WR. Plus with the money crunch we are about to hit hard, I don't think we could afford him anyhow.Also TJ got tendered the lowest, but I really don't see anyone offering anything for him. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 We need DEFENSE far more than any reciever! Quote

BengalszoneBilly Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 You know what I'm sayin', Nation's Sensation! Grading on the equal "Suck" scale, the Bengals defensive line had a much greater "Suck Quotient" than the recieving corps did! No comparison! That last game versus the clowns the defense sucked so bad that we actually registered a measurable vacuum at field level a PBS!!! Quote
chrishcovga Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 As much as I don't like T.J., I still don't want Curtis Conway.He's always injured.. has never played up to his speed...and we could still draft better in round 5 or 6, than what T.J. or Conway could give us.. Quote

I'm hoping someone, anyone offers TJ a contract, I'd be nice to have an extra 6th round pick.... Quote

You think we can get a 6th? I was thinking we'd get a 12 pack and a half of a snickers bar. Quote

I was thinking we'd get a 12 pack and a half of a snickers bar. SOLD!!!!unfortunately this year the draft is really deep at WR, I think last year he would have been signed, and we would have got the pick, but stuff happens....But he, April is still a ways away, so anything could happen....

Why not just release him? We are looking at Patrick Johnson and Hobbs said he's super fast and with CJ, PW, Wash and Walter I don't think we need TJ anymore. He's an injury risk overrated punt return droppin' slack jaw. I vote him out. Quote

I vote him out. simple, don't release him, he's only taking about 600k against the cap, and if someone does sign him, whammo, extra draft pick...It's worth a shot, besides, it's highly doubtful that he'll be on the team come opening day, but he's worth keeping if it get's a draft pick.

chrishcovga Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Actually the compensation for T.J. Houshmanzadeh would be a 7th round pick. restricted free agents only get a compensation pick worthy of the round they were selected in ,unless a certain tendered offer is made... Needless to say... Cincy only offered him the "bare" minimum... Quote

Oops, I thought he was a 6th rounder...That's what I get for flapping my jaws without looking it up....Still I'd take an extra 7th for him Quote
