Get excited -- Time to kick some tires!

[cincygrad]

Yeah bitches!

This is the best time of year. We'll fly in a few guys, kick some tires and write uplifting articles about the potential and drive of our new right tackle Anthony Collins.

Can I get a Who-Dey?

Just read an article on Bengals.com.

Hobbs states we only have about 17 mil to spend now. Where the other 30 mil went I have no idea.

We save about 50 million for roster bonuses and injury settlements.

there's a huge discrepancy in what every NFL writer and what the local stooge denotes as salary cap space.

I completely expect the league to have to interfere with the Bengals this season as Brown tests to see "if they really mean it"

Joe Reedy had pretty close to the same figure. He said the Bengals had about $39 million in cap room. They will likely roll over about $10 million to next year for some of the big contracts coming up. Then they'll need another money set aside for this year's draft picks and need to save some for injuries during the season.

It's amazing that Mike Brown has that much power that he can manipulate the local beat writer who he doesn't even employ. And it's working. Go read the message board over on Bengals.com. The majority of the people there truly believe that we cannot afford to sign legit players. They truly believe the "Mike Brown system" is the best way. It's maddening.

as soon as the Bengals go 3-13 again that place will be empty, so I wouldn't worry.

This is the ONE THING I HATE ABOUT MY TEAM! WE SHOULD be signing Goldson at 4:01 today...Instead.. We sign Newman type of motherfuckers and expect we will go far in the playoffs... 100% BULLSHIT!

It's certainly not for lack of cap space...never has been.

Not sure how well he would do here. All the guys on the SF board say he isn't very good in coverage and that is what we need. He tends to get burnt a lot.

Of course they'll say that..... They're losing him.

He's better than what we got and he's proven, unlike the guys in the draft. We have the money.

 

[Tubbs1518]

What does that matter to them? They are very honest over there. They rip the players left on their team such as Whitner. Goldson is a hard hitter. He isn't good in coverage. I'm not sure if he helps our D as much as some other guys in FA, especially at 8-9 mil a year.

 

[cincygrad]

It's not going to matter anyway. We're not getting him.

We're not getting anyone that isn't a back-up or hasn't already played for us.

Madieu Williams!

We had fans that thought he would be better than Troy Polamalu.

Well, he was released. He's played for us before. He sucks. He's cheap. I'm betting we go out and get him back in the fold. Then those same idiots can get excited again.

They were also madly in love with Alex Smith at one point.

They were also madly in love with Alex Smith at one point.

He was also a couple muffed punts away from QBing them to the superbowl, was good this year before he was hurt and another team thought enough of him to give up a 2nd round pick.
