Randle P McMurphy Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Sounds like Boling is going to sign with whomever offers the most "upfront" money. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/03/09/report-mutual-interest-between-vikings-clint-boling/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randle P McMurphy Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Although I like Boling's versatility having slid out to RT on occasion and even taken snaps at C, I think the Bengals may just let him walk considering Whitworth, Smith and Zeitler will be up for FA next year. We can get a "true guard" later in the draft or take an OT earlier, put him at G for a year then figure things out in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishBengal Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Trey Hopkins will be our starting LG.......unless we draft a LT and move Whit to LG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcarpenter62 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Let him walk... and then save that $. Maybe roll it over to next year. Woooooo - fucking hoooooo! I'm just being a jerk... but I will say this: This organization seemed to put out "rumblings" that this year they would be active in FA has set up to make this a new low in the offseason brow beating!

Randle P McMurphy Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Trey Hopkins will be our starting LG.......unless we draft a LT and move Whit to LG. If Boling leaves, I'm thinking we take a LT in the draft, put him at LG for the 2015 season, then figure things out after the 2015 season. Resign Whitworth and move him to LG and let said draft pick slide over to LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatternMaster Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Boling is a good player but not great and if teams want to out bid each other for his services then so be it. Let somebody throw $20 million in guaranteed money at him, I don't blame the Bengals for not trying to break the bank to get him back on the roster.

Randle P McMurphy Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 The notion of a "Boling sweepstakes" is kinda hilarious Haha! I hear ya. I did mention I'm not a writer (comedy or otherwise) right? I'm sure some team will fall in love with his versatility having played LG, RT and even taken snaps at C and he's still young. All that being said, I'm okay with him leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
