    OK... back to this topic of games on Christmas Wednesday...

    If the Bengals played at home would you go?

    If the Bengals play away would you watch?

     

    Put me down for "yes" on both counts but my situation is a lot easier than most people.

    Still seems like it would whizz off a lot of people no matter what they chose.

    Stealers hit roadblock with signing Bengals FA WR Tyler Boyd

    At this point in free agency, the most coveted players are gone. The Pittsburgh Stealers may have had a plan when they traded Diontae Johnson, but we’ve not yet seen it come to fruition. That’s not to say it won’t still happen if the play was to sign Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd but according to Stealers beat writer Ray Fittipaldo, the two sides aren’t agreeing on money, so Pittsburgh is going to try to wait him out.

    They’re trying to wait out Tyler Boyd. I’m not quite sure how that’s going to end up going down here. I know that he wants to get paid more than they’re offering him. 

     

    Boyd isn’t the only free-agent receiver left on the market but his ties to Pittsburgh seem to make him the one the Stealers want the most. The Stealers have dedicated significant resources to scouting some of the top receivers in the 2024 NFL draft which we assume is Plan B if Boyd and Stealers can’t reach an agreement prior to the draft.

    I think the stumbling block is Tyler has far too much class to be associated with a bunch of shit hooks like that.

    ... Like 90 % of it. The Bengals are throwing in the 1 mill vet minimum. 🤓

    So let me get this straight...

    Carolina gave us Vonn Bell and a 6th round draft choice and they are paying his salary to play for us.

    And they just signed Nik Scott,

    Are they playing for the first pick in the 2025 draft already?

    Never too early to tank?

    Some dumb sumbitches down there, boy howdy.

    Hi Tee Higgins Agent,

    Dumbass.  Here's what we are going to do.

    Tag Tee this year and next.

    After that, he won't be worth nearly as much as a free agent.

    So we are going to offer a three year contract that is more per year then the franchise tag pays

    and a decent, comparable third year on the deal.

    Good money, job security in a place that loves Tee and shot at playoff and Super Bowl money to boot.

    Boom!  And you can even borrow my pen, if you promise to give it back.

    LOL. Comparing Jonah Williams to Trent Brown is laughable.   Brown is a WAY better player.  
     

    Zack Moss is light years better as a pass blocker so we don’t have to take him out on 3rd and 5 situations.  Mixon is a terrible pass blocker. 

     

    There is nothing unresolved about Tee Higgins, he will play under the franchise tag. 

    Don't shoot the messenger... I did say "f-bomb 'em".

  6. USA Today free agency grade so far... (fuck 'em)

    Cincinnati Bengals: C-

    Feels like a series of mostly lateral moves, OT Trent Brown replacing Jonah Williams, RB Zack Moss (2 years, $8 million) replacing Joe Mixon, DT Sheldon Rankins (2 years, $24.5 million) replacing D.J. Reader. The new safety couplet of Stone and Vonn Bell is nice. But the unresolved situation around franchised WR Tee Higgins? Not so much.

    Any rumors on. Prospective DT?

    Arik Armstead?

     

    https://bengalswire.usatoday.com/2024/03/20/bengals-want-dj-reader-sheldon-rankins-interest-arik-armstead-free-agency/

     

    But then it got hard for Radicevic and Trey Brown as they focused on re-signing nose tackle DJ Reader. The frustration grew with the escalating deals for the defensive tackles. They were talking to players like Reader and the just-released Arik Armstead, among others. Others didn’t have passing grades or weren’t locker-room fits.

    One of the other reported players that presumably didn’t fit for one reason or another was Teair Tart. With Armstead, Jacksonville giving him $51 million over three years probably pushed the Bengals out of their comfort zone.

    If Brown is such an obvious upgrade over Becton, who didn't want to play here...why did the Bengals not target Brown from the beginning of FA, like why waste time on a lesser player like Becton?

     

    Is it purely because of the Frank Pollack connection, because if so that is a huge waste of time and misstep? This idea that Pollack was going to rehab Becton's career is hilarious because he hasn't been able to develop one decent starter out of the 7 draft picks the Bengals have used on the offensive line in the past 5 years. These are talented players who have all the tools to be successful but Pollack has only managed to get one to start, and he's the worst player on the offensive line, a legit liability that should be replaced. 

     

    The Bengals wasted a whole week on Becton when they should have been targeting Brown from the beginning, but better late than never...I guess...let's hope they get a deal done with Brown. 

    Did they offer Becton a contract?  At work and did not see it if they did.

    BUT... all's well that ends well and glad Brown is here.

    I'd guess we aren't offering Tart or Becton as much as they hoped to get so they are waiting for a better offer to arrive from some other team. If that doesn't happen, they become Bengals. Sort of like the Warren Sapp visit but Tart and Becton are willing to sign the deal if it's the best they can get.

     

    I'm tending to lean toward Patter's thinking that Becton is kind of a risk.

    I am tired of the Bengals taking underachievers with potential and ending up

    with an under achiever.  Somewhere is the number of penalties and sacks he gave up...

    No thanks.  He reminds me of a higher profile Jackson Carman.

    Should be somewhere there in the draft.

     

    Fart.. would like to have him here but if he is a player and trying to jack up his price here

    or elsewhere... yeah, I'd still take him and you can't blame him but...

    I think I would need to factor in carries/ touches per season on an annual basis.   Use some fancy exponential shit once you go above 250 or so.   Consecutive seasons over 250 would add an additional wear factor.    

    Earl Campbell rushed over 300 times a season his first 4 years.  He was never the same after it. 
     

    I agree, egregious use in college needs to be factored in. 
     

    Let me work on it.  

    With Mixon you also have to factor in all the wear and tear

    or running into a lineman and falling on his ass two lines short

    of the line of scrimmage on 3rd and 2.
