Re: Bengals 2010

"No" to TJ. Not now, not ever again. He burned his bridges with the Bengals, and I think he was the motivation behind Chad's bad attitude a couple years ago. He's only been in Seattle one season and they're trying to get rid of him, and apparently are willing to eat some cash to do so. There's a reason for that.

No thanks on TJ. He was what everyone thought Chad was.

Should the Bengals bring him back? I realize they're deep at receiver, even without Bryant... but Housh, Ocho and T.O. would be a solid trio.
I would probably consider it, he still brings something to the table IMO and being cut just might humble the guy. But I wouldn't pursue him, I'd let him pursue the Bengals. Minnesota may take another shot at him though.

Re: Bengals 2010

I'd do it. One year, all out for a title. When the new CBA comes around chances are Marvin is gone, half the good players will be gone and the Bengals will be left with Palmer and a bunch of slop. As far as I'm concerned 2010 is the last stand for many years. Things will change quickly. I'm all for going full out this year.

One could argue the Bengals have been signing a team full of cancerous players the past few years and have not imploded. What is T.O.? What was Tank Johnson? Cedric Benson? Adam 'Pacman' Jones? Roy Williams? Need I go on?

Colosimo's not a hack, he's one of the top bone doctors in sports medicine. And having personal experience, I'll say I think he's a jerk. But seriously, the Bengals do not employ an inferior in this position and they haven't for some years through their association with the Heidt group.

Re: Bengals 2010

Somebody I wouldn't mind seeing the Bengals take a chance on:

Matt Leinart

If anything, two USC QB's on the roster who played together could be nice and Leinart would probably be better than Jordan Palmer or JT O'Sullivan if Palmer gets hurt. Leinart didn't fit with the Cardinals and what Whisenhunt does, but it might work here.

Re: Bengals 2010

Id rather have Jordon Palmer doing check downs. At least I could imagine it was Carson.

Re: Bengals 2010

Adam Schefter is saying the Bengals are finalizing a trade that would send CB David Jones to the Jaguars for Safety Reggie Nelson.

Re: Bengals 2010

I wouldn't mind having a back up QB that could actually half way win a game for us.

Re: Bengals 2010

Maybe since the Steelers hate Dixon so much they could just give him to us.

Re: Bengals 2010

The Ravens have cut Shayne Graham.

The Bengals have cut Matt Jones.

Bengals one of five teams pursuing Matt Leinart, per Joe Reedy. I'd love to see that one happen.

I understand that....but they came in as bad apples from somewhere else and changed themselves here....TJ ...IMO....is THE guy who put the stink into this team in regards to attitude. It rubbed off on Chad (who seems to be very prone to being influenced) .... it made him look like a terrible ME first guy.
He was acting almost Carl Pickens like for a time there.

Find some decent back up OL...so they can use the weapons they have already.
