-Dan_Bengals_FL- Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 I'd love for this team to pursue anyone from numbers #5-9: 5. Patriots corner Asante Samuel 6. Titans DT Albert Haynesworth 7. Raiders CB Nnamdi Asomugha 8. Bears LB Lance Briggs 9. Ravens LB/DE Terrell Suggs (No. 1 and 2 Bob Sanders and Jared Allen wouldn't be to shabby either.)

CarsonDaMan Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 The number one thing the Bengals need is a pass rusher. I'm assuming Jared Allen will get the tag from the Chiefs so i'm crossing him off. My only focus in free agency is to somehow get Terrell Suggs in a Bengal uniform. This defense has lacked that dominant pass rusher for soooo long. In Suggs you get a young guy who hasn't really even hit his prime yet. Please go get him. Overpay if you must but i'd rather one of him than three dexter jacksons. I'm sure it won't happen but if there is one mistake this franchise makes it's that they refuse to spend ANY money on decent free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texbengal Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 A lot of the top defenders (Jared Allen, Haynesworth, Sanders, Samuel) will likely be franchised if they're not signed before FA. I think Suggs is a solid player, but I think he's overrated, and as such I wouldn't break the bank for him. I'd prefer Briggs, if they're going to pay someone from that list.

The Bengals will easily have sufficient cap space to sign them. Actual cash to pay their signing bonuses might be a problem though. Bengals currently have about 28 mil in cap space and that is with Rudi, Thornton, Dexter, and Willie on the books. Releasing them frees up even more space.

claptonrocks Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Do any of you ever think that alot of these free agents ie Haynesworth, Allen, Sanders are going to be franchised by their respective teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyrid Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Right now, I would try to go after a safety first. They are generally much cheaper. I would then let Madieu go elsewhere and have Ndukwe and White compete for the other starting spot. I'd also look for a veteran O lineman with some leadership (Faneca?) and a weakside LB. We should have enough money to do all of that if we let Smith go and cut a bit of dead wood. Concentrate heavily on D line in the draft then.

kdubdub Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 I'll take LJ Smith and Reggie Kelley as our Tight Ends for 2008. But, I cast my vote for Lance Briggs in '08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
