3 years 24 Mil Bears Swift

Anyone have the best place to track signings? TV-Youtube-Website or otherwise?

The three year deal is actually great for us

Pittman just got 3 years 71 million. That's a fair contract. Send it to tee and lets be done

Pittman just got 3 years 71 million. I'd do that for Tee

Malik Wright said on Bengals Jim that we are going after a RT-DT-DT-TE and starting FS

Williams and Ford back

At one point they were trying to change that. I don't know if they did

There is no way there haven't been contract talks. The national media never knows anything because Bengals don't talk.

He is slightly older but not by much and I think Karras was a bit older when they signed him. Its usually guys heading toward second contracts, old team can't afford them, wont be 31 by time contract is done.

If we look at Hilton-Awuzie-Cappa and Karras as the model.....who fits that?

It's Free Agency Eve. Put your cookies and milk out. I will do a last-minute run down using much of the old stuff. The plan and the players https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_oGEDBZnU6LESfPLyD8apeXSKI-OJ4Z8IWYd7YcnAsM/edit?usp=sharing QB-Nothing, maybe bring back McCarron after his Battlehawks tenure RB-Cut Mixon but maybe bring him back. Lots of names on the list. I assume they feel out the market and then cut Mixon. I put that in a different order last time. He doesn't need to be cut until Friday. If he is cut it will be with a plan in mind. That will be his replacement or an agreed-upon new contract. Save 5.75-6.1M on him depending on what you read. I think you can probably get him back for about 3-4. His most likely option is paired with Tyjae Spears in Tennessee for Callahan I think. I would bet they just go down the list and see if they can get anyone to bite for a reasonable deal. If no upgrade is available they just run back with Mixon. I'd be happy with any of A or B and could be talked into anyone in C. Group A: Henry-Pollard-Barkley-Swift-Jacobs Group B: Moss Group C Mixon-Gibson-Dillon-Singletary-Foreman-Edwards-Mattison-Ekeler WR-I'd sign a vet for the slot. The draft is deep but I think you can get a good deal on a slot guy Three layers here: Long term starter Darnell Mooney Curtis Samuel Flyer with high upside Paris Campbell Veteran on league minimum Jamal Agnew Deonte Harty Braxton Berrios Young guy who fits the mod of our common signings. Quez Watkins Scotty Miller Tight End-The draft is simply terrible for what we want. Bowers is a stud but we can't count on him being there. Cade Stover fits what we want too. He is an all-around guy. Most others don't. Maybe Ben Sinnott, But he is a bit of a projection. Still that's three. They will have to sign someone. After the signings of Henry (9AAV), Smith (5AAV) and Schultz (12AAV) things are running a bit dry. Those numbers probably take us out of Fant who may get 9-10M. Sample and Hudson should be back. I hope they don't play around with Sample Long term Starter with upside Fant Short term starter 2-3 years settles the position Everett 1 year starter where you could easily draft a TE early still Logan Thomas-Played QB for Taylor Hayden Hurst Young flyer who would be starting for first time. Parkinson Brycen Hopkins WildCard Gesicki OL Center: If you wanted to upgrade....I don't but there is an argument to sign one and move Karras to LG Cushenberry-Ex Burrow C Biadasz-Cowboys Williams-Dolphins Brewer-Titans Tackles: We are most likely to get a starter at RT in the draft. It's deep this year. But we have to hedge that just in case. Starters where maybe you don't draft one early Onwenu Eluemonor Shorter term Starters Trent Brown Nijman Fant Wynn Fleming Flyer on a starter who could be long-term but is probably a bust Becton We also have a long list of people who our coaches have coached that wouldn't be surprises. C-Schlottman, McGovern, Elfein G-Skipper, Lewis, Risner, Wilkinson, Van Roten, Glasgow T-Smith, Edoga, Becton, Jones, Quesenberry, Fant, Fleming, Udoh Nose Tackles-1 in FA, I want Reader back but don't expect it. Reader is 334 pounds. Not a ton of guys at that weight. Young guys Davis-Dolphins Tart-Texans Jones-Bears Vets Jenkins-Raiders 3 Technique-Would be nice to get one in FA but it's far more likely we get a guy at 3T in the draft then Nose. Especially when we are open for the rotation more. Jones-Bills Roach-Saints Rankins-Texas Joseph-Day-49ers Kinlaw-49ers Autry-Titans Defensive End: Probably could sign one but we still like our top 4. 2 veterans that might fit are Carl Lawson and Ogbah who was coached by Hobby in Miami. Safety: People keep saying we need a starter but I just don't see it that way. Hill was bad at times this year but he's a stud and they won't give up on him. They will want a rotational veteran who can start and be a leader if he had to be. Young guys who fit the age. Gilman-Chargers Stone-Ravens Whitehead-Jets Savage-Packers Vets who fit the rotation Simmons-Broncos Amos-Texans Ford-Packers Jackson-Bears Owens-Packers Walker-Lions Edmunds-Titans Corners-You want a fringe starter who is a veteran. They will probably wait until after the first few days and see what happens when the dust settles. Young guys who fit the age Robertson-Raiders Jackson-Bills Murphy-Bunting-Titans Vets with lots of starts Griffin-Panthers Hamilton-Cardinals Ya-Sin-Ravens Wallace-Stealers Howard-Dolphins Flowers-Falcons

Some niner fans are acting like its a good thing. I thought he was old but good.

Arik Armstead being released.

He was also coached by our new OL assistant for 2 seasons.

He's 26 v 31 and his PFF scores are all better. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_oGEDBZnU6LESfPLyD8apeXSKI-OJ4Z8IWYd7YcnAsM/edit?usp=sharing

I think they want lots of guys with speed. They want guys who can turn 4 yards into 12.

I think we will want faster guys.

James for the Raiders just signed for 3 years 8 per. If you could get Lloyd Cushenberry for that you are hedging for a fall off or Karras leaving next year and you could just put Karras at LG and move Volson to the bench. Cushenberry was Burrows center at LSU.

Byard to the bears for 2 years 15 M total. I would have paid that but that's near where I would have a ceiling. He will be a centerpiece for that team.

Per Bengals site...both are UFAs https://www.bengals.com/team/free-agent-tracker

I just mean they won't target a box safety vs a FS

I expect Williams back, another draft pick and Mixon back....I am all for Moss. I think CEH just seems like a fit but kinda sucks. They love Williams but don't play him

Bumping this up as a reminder of where we are starting from. RT and DT is pretty gross. Everything else is ok....other than TE. Does anyone know if Irwin or Hudson are RFAs?

Agreed on the coverage safety. Seems like that's a priority
