Bengals1181 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Yeah I saw where there thinking of bringing tate back and that makes me want to puke I'd bring Tate back too, you can always cut him after the draft if you get the guy you want. As long as you don't give him much of a signing bonus, better to have him now and cut him later than wait and not have any returner at all.

texbengal Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I wonder if he's healthy again if they'd consider going lighter at WR, and bring BScott back, and put him in at KR and part-time RB? Not precluding the need for a speed back in the draft, but BScott was the best KR they've had in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not precluding the need for a speed back in the draft, but BScott was the best KR they've had in a long time. If he's healthy I would welcome him to camp on a one year deal. Would rather see him get another shot than Tate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather see him get another shot than Tate. as mentioned above, I'd bring guys like Tate, Scott, and Roland back. Never know how the draft is gonna play out or what injuries will happen. Can always cut them in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alleycat Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 It's not my money, so I'd say why not. The only problem, and this addresses something I was trying to say about Rey in another thread, is I wonder to what degree the coaches ARE influenced by history with a guy. Sometimes, you need to dump a guy just to force yourself to make a change. Nate Livings is a perfect example. He was here forever, until he signed elsewhere on a deal. We got lucky when Wharton got suddenly cut - and then unlucky when he got suddenly hurt. And as much as Clint Boiling deteriorated over the course of the season, he was still a step in the right direction (i.e., building, improving) over Livings. Cook, Rey, and guys like Tate, Roland, and Scott all fit the mold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't followed his whole feed, but I think Lance just suggested it on his show tonight as an idea, not something that's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you don't give him much of a signing bonus, better to have him now and cut him later than wait and not have any returner at all. I would imagine no other team would sign Tate and he could be re-signed later.....but I would look to improve that roster spot with someone different. We know what Tate brings....and that what he brings does not warrant a roster spot IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FulcherVulcher33 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Carolina promised Ginn a bigger role as WR, which is what he was looking for. Get a life.

HaydenM Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Bengals sign Josh Johnson apparently. He'll be a decent backup QB. Good move. Haven't really seen him since college, but I remember him havin a good arm an being mobile. A guy who can make some plays at least if he needs to come into the game. Prefer him to gradkowski.

He was responding to some follower who was basically telling the bengals to sign Andre. Reedy was saying a team can't just unilaterally force a player to sign.
