    I don't think McCarron has a case. It's pretty cut and dried. He came to the Bengals with an injured shoulder and wasn't activated until late in the yr. He doesn't get credit for a year's service time like that.

    You're basing that on what the Bengals' report via their medical staff, and this source is notorious for flat out lying.

    McCarron has a case.

    Free agency totally doesn't work.

    ...just ask the Jaguars.

    Granted, I haven't hear McCarron's side.

    This is uncharted territory:

    http://bengalswire.usatoday.com/2018...t-of-its-kind/

    It appears the issue isn't so much the injury but when he was activated. Seems to me that when to activate a player is kinda up to the team.

    We'll see how it turns out

    The Bengals take a DL at #12. Hobson justifies it by saying the Bengals may have to replace Geno and Dunlap in '19... and do they really want to commit big money to guys who will be over 30 when they sign their contract?

    By the start of training camp, the OL isn't fixed, neither Geno nor Dunlap is extended and the Bengals are $15-20mm under the cap.
    Maaaaaan why do you have to do that?

    That is all so plausible, I hate it.

    And really, why wouldn't they resign Bodine. If he isn't a model for the franchise, I don't know what is.

    I think that’s sarcasm. The Jaguars got better through free agency (moreso the draft though).

    I like this - Aaron Rodgers is salty over Green Bay having let Alex Van Pelt go (he's the new QB coach for Dalton):

    @jasonjwilde
    26m26 minutes ago

    Aaron Rodgers making his disappointment about Alex Van Pelt's departure as quarterbacks coach -- "without consulting me," he says -- very clear on Golic and Wingo.

    @jasonjwilde
    20m20 minutes ago

    Full quote from Aaron Rodgers on losing Van Pelt: "My quarterback coach didn't get retained. I thought that was an interesting change -- really without consulting me. There's a close connection between quarterback and quarterback coach. And that was an interesting decision."

    Maybe Rodgers needs to be reunited with his QB coach - in Cincy!

    He's used to working with bad Offensive Lines, so he'll feel right at home. He'll have a better WR than he ever had at Green Bay and a better Defense, too. He'll have his worst Head Coach ever, but he's enough of an Alpha Male that he can overcome Mediocre Marvin.

    AJ is great, but overall I’d take the Packers receiving corps over the Bengals.

    Take away the Super Bowl against the Steelers and McCarthy is pretty mediocre, still better than Marvin but not by much.

    Seriously, what would Dalton ever have accomplished without Green?

    ...and there's your Enquirer version...just waiting on Hobson...

    From Rotoworld with Rotoworld comments:

    The Cincinnati Enquirer's Jim Owczarski reports the Bengals are focused on signing contract-year DE Carlos Dunlap to an extension before Week 1.

    They also hope to extend DT Geno Atkins this offseason. With at least 7.5 sacks each of the last five seasons, Dunlap has been something of a value on the five-year, $39 million extension he signed in 2013, so he will likely be looking for a raise. Dunlap will turn 29 at the end of February.

    You could probably say that about a lot of QBs when it came to the talented receivers they had who made their job look easier.

    I was in a discussion awhile back with some co-workers on "franchise" QBs that, in their opinion, weren't that good as far as QB ability, but their receivers made them look great. They brought up Bradshaw and Swann/Stallworth. One even mentioned Montana, who had Rice and Dwight "The Catch" Clark.
