Safety Ken Hamlin says he is going to Cincy to visit Bengals

Not exactly sure how Ken Hamlin would fit in with Crocker, Roy, and Chinny, but I wouldn't be against signing him. More depth is always a good thing.

Living in Dallas, I saw Hamlin a lot - very good his first year, so-so his second. I'm guessing he's looking to start somewhere, and I don't think he's a better player than (a healthy) Crocker. He'd represent good depth, but I'd be surprised if he signed here as a backup if he gets a chance to start elsewhere. He's only a year or two removed from a Pro Bowl season.

Based on last year's performance late in the year, Nelson doesn't look like an answer, but he was a rookie and Coyle et al seemed to like his potential, so we'll have to see on that. I'm not ready to give up on the guy, but competition is always a good thing.
