USN Bengal Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Don't know about the rest of you, but if Zimmer says he can help then I'm onboard with that. Didn't want him before Zimmer said that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'm not sure how he is supposed to help. We are already pretty long in the tooth back there and have 3 quality starters locked up. Unless he's coming to play for vet minimum and can play special teams, I don't see it happening. A fourth corner almost has to play ST's doesn't he?

sparky151 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 No thanks to Newman. I'm sure he's a good citizen but we don't need to get older in the secondary. He's just past it after 8 years in the league and he was 25 when he entered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschooler Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 [b]ONGOING TALKS:[/b] Indications were Tuesday night that the Bengals were talking to the free agents that are coming off Paul Brown Stadium visits, including Raiders running back Michael Bush. The Bengals are also talking to their own free agents, such as cornerback Adam Jones, and it's believed he's received interest from two other teams as well as Cincinnati. The talks revolving around Bush aren't so clear cut, since the position involves system, fit, and when computing the financial value of a deal. NFL.com is reporting that the Bengals are one of four teams looking at Bush and Seattle wants a visit. He visited Chicago, where he would be behind Matt Forte and he would back up Marshawn Lynch in Seattle. Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden has made it clear they're looking at rotation, so while Bush wouldn't be backing up, he would be splitting time with a rookie or veteran Bernard Scott, or both. How he feels about that and what price tag a team would put on that would be all part of fairly in-depth discussions. Whatever is going on in the running back market, it is slow across the league. That's because teams are trying to figure out how much they'll spend knowing that they'll be wading in a deep pool of running backs next month in the draft. One position that's gone under the radar has been SAM linebacker, but that bubbled up Tuesday night when new Titan Kamerion Wimbley told Alex Marvez of FoxSports.com on Sirius Radio that the Bengals were one of five teams that expressed interest in him, along with Tennessee, the Patriots, Seahawks, and Packers. But Wimbley jumped on the $35 million deal with $13.5 million guaranteed and $11.5 million in the first season (as reported by Adam Caplan via ProFootballTalk.com) before leaving Nashville and making other visits. Manny Lawson, the Bengals' incumbent SAM, is a highly-rated free agent that strangely hasn't received much play. Until Tuesday night when reports surfaced the Packers were interested. Lawson arrived in Cincinnati last season with a good rep as a pass rusher, but he rushed just 46 times in 2011 and dropped in coverage three times as much, according to profootball.focus.com. But he's an athletic big body and solid locker room guy and it's believed he's also had discussions about staying in Cincinnati. http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Update-Crocker-not-sorry-to-see--Ward-go-Talks-ongoing/7c8d6bfb-63a6-411c-be2f-d0b65155bdb8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this deal gets done and the contract numbers arent too bad. I think this is a sign we are shifting away from flat footed bruiser rb's. almost ensures that we pick up a back in the draft IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
