oldschooler Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 The Raiders are reportedly in play for one of the better free agent tight ends. Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports reports Oaklandwill be a suitor for Cincinnati’s Jermaine Gresham. Adam Caplan of ESPN also reports the Raiders “have interest” in Gresham, PFT’s 40th-ranked free agent. The 26-year-old Gresham would strengthen the Raiders’ depth at tight end, thus bolstering their two-TE sets. Oakland has one dependable pass catcher at the position in Mychal Rivera. Cleveland is also interested in Gresham, Yahoo! reported. The Browns’ top tight end, Jordan Cameron, is an unrestricted free agent. The Bengals’ first-round pick in 2010, Gresham has caught 280 passes for 2,722 yards with 24 TDs in five NFL seasons. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/03/08/report-raiders-suitors-for-jermaine-gresham/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hard to believe Gresham is still only 26. It feels like he's been here forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tigre Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Everyone is going to soon find out what they had here. But no problem, Ryan Hewitt will solve every problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A.B. Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Everyone is going to soon find out what they had here. But no problem, Ryan Hewitt will solve every problem. Crazy how nobody in the fucking media wants to point out the common denominator here with our TE problems. Hayes. If his player has discipline and mental problems every fucking game, somebody is not doing his job in preparing him. Jesus Christ its disgusting.

USN Bengal Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I don't think Hayes has jack shit to do with it, I think it's the shitty play calling, Dalton not being a great QB, and Greshams lack of focus. I wish he would stay here and turn into a perennial All-pro, but that doesn't look like a possibility right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColorChanginClique Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I would very much like Gresham to come back long term. I feel confident knowing what will happen if he doesn't....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyrid Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Gresham's amazing and everyone but the Bengals front office knows it. That's why the NFL's best talent evaluators are after him. He's going to win a Super Bowl or 6 in Cleveland or Oakland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khatmandude Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 He's a helluva lot closer in Cincinnati than he would be in Oakland or Cleveland. This is true. But being a helluva lot closer doesn't mean he's very close at all. I think everyone had a reality check when watching actual contenders play in the playoffs last year. I know, there were injuries, but then what about 2013? Point being, this team, even though extremely talented....isn't really a contender. Not on the same level, coaching wise, QB play wise...as the other teams. That was painfully obvious, to me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A.B. Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 He's a helluva lot closer in Cincinnati than he would be in Oakland or Cleveland. That's cool. We've still won the same number of Super Bowls as Oakland and Cleveland in the span of time he's been in the league. 10 years from now nobody in the world will care about that time the Bengals made the playoffs 4 times in a row and were closer than them. I feel fairly confident that Oakland will win a playoff game again before we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I hope Gresham stays. If you use a first rd pick on TE, you shouldn't let him walk when he's entering his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I hope Gresham stays. If you use a first rd pick on TE, you shouldn't let him walk when he's entering his prime. But he'll walk two yards short of the first down and drop the ball, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Just keep saying: Ryan Hewitt. Repeat it a few times and everything is all better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A.B. Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hue already stated his desire to not play Hewitt more at that position because he is best at FB. They want to keep him there probably because they don't want to Orson Charles him and fuck up his growth. He's a good FB. Our run game is much better with him in that role. That should be his focus.

happyrid Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Except that when speaking of the "other" TE this coming season, all Hobson has been saying is Hewitt. No he hasn't. He's been talking about the Bengals signing a FA TE pretty regularly. There are others, but from Hobson's last column where he answers questions: My question is with all this cap space and so many names buzzing around the media, do you think it's more likely that Marvin upgrades the defensive side of the football in FA over offense? Just seems to me that there is more defensive helps available within our price range l, than there are at our needs on offense. The draft is looking wide open at receiver and Offensive-line. Thanks for taking my question. Wish you continued success. Who dey! Michael Higgins, Erlanger, KY MICHAEL: Thank you for writing. I think the front office and Lewis have some pretty firm ideas. They want to improve the pass rush and they want to add to their depth at linebacker on defense and on offense they want to find a blocking tight end, a speed receiver, and depth at tackle. You’ve got a pretty good handle on the draft, where it’s a good year for receivers and offensive linemen. But they may also be able to pick off a pass rusher in the first two rounds. It’s not a good year for backers in the draft or free agency, but, you’re right, the needs for backers and tight ends match up with the price range and I’d expect they’ll end up with a veteran tight end and linebacker in free agency, and possibly a rotational end.

Khatmandude Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Except that when speaking of the "other" TE this coming season, all Hobson has been saying is Hewitt. Except what you just said isn't true.... Hue Jackson has repeatedly said he likes what Hewitt allows from the H-back position and that another TE, if not Gresham, will be required.

Ah yes, you know it's that time of year again when your told your not a real fan for wanting to take a critical look at the team and the best ways to fix it's deficiencies. I wonder if even acknowledging the fact the team has deficiencies downgrades your status as a "real fan"? This is one of those "things that make you go hmmm".
