|Harley| Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 As for DT, I'd like to see what Still and Thompson can do with more snaps. They were high enough picks to expect production. Therefore, I wouldn't want to reach on a DT in the draft. Would be open to grab a DE if BPA in later rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need that many DTs on the roster (with Peko and Atkins as well). Sims is a free agent, but when he plays our run D is consistently better. Could we trade one of the kids? Do we keep all 3?

One of these days Hobson might get one of his Bengals.com articles posted about a signing before Reedy even tweets it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 The Bengals defensive line, the unquestioned strength of Cincinnati's back-to-back playoff teams, is coming back all but intact for 2013 with a NFL source saying Tuesday that veteran left end Robert Geathers has agreed to a contract. With free agency set to begin at 4 p.m., the Bengals are efforting to re-sign right tackle Andre Smith as well as two of their top three cornerbacks inTerence Newman and Adam Jones. Even as Smith hit the free-agent market Tuesday, all indications are the Bengals are still going to try and re-sign him as they attempt to bring back as many starters and regulars as they can from the team that has been to the playoffs the last two years. What is believed to be a three-year deal for Geathers takes them into this season with their six most used defensive linemen from last season in a rotation that was the hub of the NFL's seventh-best defense. They are also believed to be "kicking the tires," on outside free agents not viewed as big-ticket items when it comes to running backs, outside linebackers and backup quarterbacks and figure to have them in for physicals and/or tryouts. But the bulk of their money is reserved for their own players and the Geathers deal puts them at about $26 million against the 2013 salary cap in deals for their free agents starting with the March 1 franchising of right endMichael Johnson. That gives them about $14 million more to spend in cap dollars as free agency and much of it is earmarked for Smith as well as making room for Newman, Jones and some others like defensive tackle Pat Sims, the run-stuffing specialist and seventh man in the D-line rotation as far as play time. http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/D-Line-Geathers-for-another-stand/f0c9e4b2-c7d7-4c55-b52f-42ec15ad9acf?campaign=cin:fanshare:twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 wow, 3yrs for Geathers. So two DE's under 3yr contracts, 2 under 1yr contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This^^^ I also agree with you that they could trade either Still or Thompson and get an extra draft pick say. If they get the original 2nd or at least a 3rd for Still (say) that would really open up the draft for us. I actually prefer Thompson to Still anyway, I think he will be another Pat Sims type we obviously need imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyrid Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 The Hobson article implies Geathers got about 3M per year, which sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 The Hobson article implies Geathers got about 3M per year, which sounds about right. yea, he was saying $17 million available last night, $14 million now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhfinks Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 i think that Sims should be signed.... they are letting him set the marked like smith.... after that... if we retain both... i'll be happy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 The Hobson article implies Geathers got about 3M per year, which sounds about right. He's not worth that much. Heck, we could probably sign Frostee for half that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincity Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I only REALLY want Adam Jones, Howard, and Andre back.. Everyone else, is icing...... From the CB perspective i would like to see them develop Prater and Dre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we had Howard locked up until next year.... didn't realize he was still out there... but i'd love to have Adam James and Andre back... however.. i don't think Andre will come our way... a RT already went for almost 8 mil a year.

The good thing is, they have 2 "Possibles" in A.C. and Wharton, so maybe they're using that as a back up plan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
