Jackie Treehorn

Does Tee or Adonai Mitchell give the Bengals a better chance to win a Superbowl this year? I believe Tee does so I'd rather keep him.

Best info I could find with a quick google search:

The big difference between Tee or Trey holding out is that Tee is not under contract because he hasn't signed the franchise tag so he can't be fined for missing time. Trey, however, is under contract and can face pretty harsh fines if he were to skip out on training camp and any other mandatory practices. I believe these fines aren't even up to the team to dole out or not. If I recall, they are given by default based on the CBA and the team has no say in it.

While I'm sure there is some truth to this, always remember that Florio is an avid Stealers fan so anything he writes negative about the Bengals should be taken with an enormous grain of salt.

Fair enough, but at this point you're assuming a lot of things based on feelings from how the Bengals did things 30+ years ago. I think the answer is a lot simpler than that.

The Bengals haven't said anything. What are you talking about?

That would be a huge story that an agent would run to a reporter with. Why would it take a journalist digging in to find that?

I would genuinely like to see a link to some sort of source or report that last years deal was intimated as a bridge to a long term deal because I haven't seen that anywhere. From what I see, he was coming off a bit of a down year with only 8 sacks, the FO gave him a $15M extension which is more than generous for that type of year, and he's mad that he signed it after now having a career year. What am I missing?

Jackie Treehorn - Byron Murphy II - 100

Agreed with everything you said about QB hype. However, not sure in what world Fields and Lawrence are comparable. Granted, Lawrence hasn't lived up to the hype he had as a generational type talent, but he's certainly been much better than Fields as a passer.

Jaguars just signed Gabe Davis. Seems unlikely.

Are you being serious? Clearly I'm talking about the nonsense at the end of your post that looks like you just slapped a bunch of keys with your forehead as you passed out.

Did he have a stroke at the end there?

I’ve heard of this happening to accounts especially those reselling through Ticketmaster. There’s been a waitlist since 2022 for season tickets.

I want nothing to do with a RB who has never played a full season with starting RB reps and who has had a major knee AND ankle injury in the last 3 years with the 3rd season cut short from yet another injury. There's got to be a better option.

They're doing one better and upgrading the whole stadium https://www.buffalobills.com/photos/second-set-of-new-bills-stadium-renderings#8f07079f-0427-4ea3-87ea-3e5d50019a9a

Or C he can tag him and have him play for the team and keep trying for an extension or let him leave for the comp pick after next season.

Yep has shown no improvement or promise. Definitely a career backup. Stupid Bengals.

$5 million a year for a blocking tight end?

Pretty close!

The conclusions people are jumping to about Murphy are baffling to say the least. The guy has played in 2 preseason games. Pass rushers can take a season or two to develop. Hendrickson, for example, had 3.5 sacks through his first 2 seasons before his breakout campaign in his 3rd and I don't think anyone is questioning him now. Let's give the guy at least a season and see how he develops.

They just gave Orland Brown Jr the largest signing bonus for an OL in league history. I don't think paying large guarantees will be the issue.

Burrow is injured.
