Keeping Our Enemies Close: 2025
Change seems to scare them into inaction. The Chase/Higgins contract negotiations seemed to take all of their off-season energy. Sometimes I think the FO just curls up in a ball in the corner when they have to look at doing a large contract.

That was a year or two after they had won the SB? Dumb fans really; they reset quickly

They draft well, manage their cap well and when they lose good players they get comp picks and then draft well..rinse and repeat. Solidly run organization top to bottom.

Tomlin to me is like Marvin Lewis, although Tomlin benefits from a stronger organization. Good coach but not all that innovative and their teams just fade away in playoffs.

Wait. Holding. Teams are supposed to not stop improving? Is this the new NFL? Has the Bengal front office been notified?

A coach who makes players repeat drills if they don't do it right? Is this not a normal coach? Hoard makes it sound like this is new.

Definitely why Troy Blackburn is never allowed to speak.

Trey'd Hendrickson? I don't think so.
It does seem like the team wanted to (first see if Knight could replace Pratt and if so then they could cut Pratt and add some value to Trey's offer. I would say the same thing for the OL - probably used the OTA's to see where the two guard spots were looking. Not saying this is in any way smart, but it seems like this is how theyu operate. They can only do one thing at a time.

Trey should ask if they are going to put the same clause in that Stewart's contract has lol

They cannot seem to get out of their own way.

That is a smart thinking vet talking...good stuff

*** [RD 1] Bengals Select ~ SHEMAR STEWART, DE ***
That is a valid thought.

Something I am not clear on - we know the Bengals have never asked for this language in a rookie contract. However, do OTHER teams use this language? Are the Bengals trying to catch up on language here or or they trying to create new language?

Pratt
Poker hand? Our Front Orfice plays "Go Fish".

Pratt
Shocking news....zzzzz

Keeping Our Enemies Close: 2025
I believe he has missed a lot of games in the last few seasons, so it is a value proposition.
-
Trey'd Hendrickson? I don't think so.
Were the changed promised or was that us just being hopeful?
-
Trey'd Hendrickson? I don't think so.
And he traded players who demanded more money.

What he is really saying is "We have some real dumbass owners so we need more of the total revenue to compensate for that"

Offseason Program/Rookie Minicamp/OTAs/Mandatory Minicamp
This will be interesting given both sides will come across as rich greedy bastards. In a league will a larger and larger revenue pot it is hard to argue that players should get less than 50%. In fact 50% seems just about right in the middle lol. Was it not 52% in the previous contract and the owners had to scramble to pull it back to 50%. Given how high the franchise values are it is tough to argue the owners need a higher cut. They might try and settle on a scaled model, with 50% up to $X Billion total and then 49% for the next $Y Billion after that, etc.

Because Paul Brown always gave fair contracts?

*** [RD 4] Bengals Select ~ BARRETT CARTER, LB ***
On drfat day, Golden said Knight and Carter are two differnt types of LB's and will be used differently. Lets let the process play out here.
-
*** [RD 1] Bengals Select ~ SHEMAR STEWART, DE ***
The question really is - do other teams have this language in their contracts? If so, then the Bengals are trying to do what others are doing. If not, then they are just plain dumb. This team has never been a trend setter on any contract clauses, we are usually the last or near last to be pulled into new language.

By that do you mean the rest of the D will be shite? LOL

Tobin seems to be outside the contract talks. Recall he said they would sign their own and be aggressive in FA. Instread they got dragged kicking and screaming to sign the two WR's and FA was a complwtw fail. If Katie is worse than Mikey we are in for a long decade or two.
