Bengals, Steelers interested in Beanie Wells

Former Cardinals running back Beanie Wells has drawn interest from the Steelers and Bengals, a source told ESPN.com.

The Steelers are looking for a featured back, but they don't have much salary-cap room to spend on a high-profile one. The Bengals are looking to add another running back to go with BenJarvus Green-Ellis, although it was assumed they would pursue a more explosive runner.

Wells, 24, a first-round pick in 2009, was cut by the Cardinals on Monday. He fell out of favor in Arizona because he couldn't stay healthy.

Wells' power running style would seem to suit the Steelers, who are expected to let Rashard Mendenhall go elsewhere in free agency. That leaves the Steelers with an underwhelming group of Jonathan Dwyer, Isaac Redman and Baron Batch.

In 2011, his best season in the NFL, Wells rushed for 1,047 yards and 10 touchdowns. Last season, he was limited to eight games due to a turf toe injury and was benched in late December.

In his four-year NFL career, Wells has averaged 4.0 yards per carry and has only three 100-yard rushing games.

a very knowledgeable Ravens fan on Kruger:

 

 

Here's the secret about Kruger: for the first half of 2012, he was really more of a liability on the defense than anything. Up until the game against the Raiders he had only one sack, and he doesn't offer much in run support. I'm also quite shocked that it hasn't been talked about more that Kruger was essentially sat in the Super Bowl in favor of Courtney Upshaw. 

Personally, I can't wait for somebody else to give him fifty-million this year.



boo.
