Free agency thread

I can't see us trading up for Richardson, nor him falling to us, in any case.

Nate Livings visiting the Cowboys this week. Let's hope he's not the one free agent we can afford to sign...

 

[icehole3]

He was the best player on the defense last season. Not sure what you were watching.

I guess thats why Frostee went to the Pro Bowl and Atkins stayed home, WTF. Please... stop it.

Ben Grubbs signs with N.O.

Signing a quality players at the interior O-line and secondary positions would have signaled that the Bengals were serious about competing next season. But with the Bengals continued inactivity, after having the most cap space, just proves that Mike Brown doesn't give a damn and could care less about fielding a perennial winner!

excerpt~

Pro Bowl guard Ben Grubbs agreed to terms on a five-year, $36 million free agent contract with New Orleans on Thursday as the Saints moved to fill the void left when All-Pro left guard Carl Nicks left in free agency for NFC South Division rival Tampa Bay.
Grubbs "will prove to be an outstanding fit to our offensive line and our team both on and off the field,'' Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said. "Ben comes to us from an offense in Baltimore that experienced a lot of success, both running the football and in pass protection. He was a big part of that and we believe that he can come right in and fit into our program without missing a beat.''
The contract worked out between Loomis and Grubbs' agent, Pat Dye Jr., includes about $16 million in guaranteed money, including a signing bonus of about $10 million.

If I ban you, who will do all of our complaining?

 

[flamingrey]

The Bengals allowed Langford to skip town without a contract. Now they're eyeing Jamaal Anderson.

I guess we'll keep working down the bucket list while Mikey continues to pinch pennies.

Colts sign Tom Zbikowski.

At least we know that Livings and McGlynn will not be our starting tandem at guard this coming year......by definition that's an upgrade.....

...assuming we sign someone to replace them which is no guarantee with the way FA has unfolded so far.

Any two room temperature bodies would still be an upgrade.....

Hobson is already writing about Otis Hudson....... Great offseason.

 

[bengaldoug]

I totally forgot about Otis the roadgrader....we'll be fine.....

 

[cincygrad]

Sadly, our strategy has become obvious..... We'll sign a few mid-level guys late in FA, we'll draft 8 players and 6 of them will make the final 53. We'll probably leave close to 30 million to the cap as MB saves cash. Our starting guards will be Boling and Hudson. Our starting receivers will be Green and Binns. Our starting safeties will be Mays and Sands. Our starting running back will be a 2nd round rookie. Our starting corners will be a first round rookie and Hall.

Cincinnati has the drunkest fans in sports.
It's the only reason anyone buys tickets.

Looks about right to me. They've been talking about running back by committee, and Jim Anderson has gone out of his way to compliment our fine "stable" of running backs already on the team.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matt Flynn signs with Seattle.

Otis Hudson. The offensive line equivalent to Bennie Brazell.
