from cincyjungle....

Mike still needs to spend but he does have a 4 year window to meet the 89%...Some good comments from people on how we could do this....

Stay tuned to see if Cheap MIke opens his wallets

THIS JUST IN!

He won't.

should be easy enough. sign the free agents we have this year that might slip away if we don't. That should take up most of the wiggle room. Then he'll have enough money to sign the draft picks and perhaps maybe even 1 or 2 free agents that don't cost too much.

I think it will look like this:

Michael Johnson -- Big money contract with large signing bonus

Geno Atkins -- Huge deal singed a year early. Large signing bonus.

Two or three 'Marvin' or 'Zim' players that add depth at linebacker or DB, but are not long-term starters.

FA OT that could be a potential starter (not a good one) when we lose Tits McGee.

Our first four draft picks are used to select an OT, S, RB, and LB.

Smith will be resigned.

Smith will be resigned.

You could be right because it's a buyer's market for OTs..... Too many of them out there.

But, my feeling has always been that his agent was looking forward to getting to FA after the Bengals declined to pick up the option 2 seasons ago. We'll see.

I don't think that he will command a massive contract. He may even get franchised.

he'll limp off into the sunset soon enough
