Hooky Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Cockbag Harvey reporting that the Bengals signed TJ Johnson. With him and Tate retained, we're ready for the 6-peat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooky Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 So I'm trying to figure out the timeline. In 15 minutes or so, they will start wheeling and dealing and there will be anouncements of agreements, but they can't officially sign until Wednesday?

JC Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 George update from rotoworld:The Cincinnati Enquirer's Jim Owczarski reports free agent S George Iloka has received "serious interest" from five teams.Among the five teams interested are the Bengals, who want to re-sign the young star. Owczarski reports the Falcons, Giants, Lions and Vikings are also interested, and the Redskins were linked earlier this offseason. Only 25, Iloka's market will be strong.

JC Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Marvin Jones update (Fuck Hue):The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot reports the Browns are "pursuing" free agent WR Marvin Jones.They won't be the only ones. ESPN's Dianna Marie Russini has already reported that Jones is the No. 1 free-agent receiver on most teams' boards. Jones will be in high demand over the next two days and seems like a lock to be overpaid. Following coach Hue Jackson to Cleveland makes a ton of sense. Jones wouldn't have to learn a new scheme and would be more of a focal point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocalBengalEd Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Jones is solid. But no way is he a number 1 . And Illoka had one good year but I still wanna lose either of them. Oh well. We never sign big time free agent but at least we sign our own. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValleyBengal Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Bottom line is we don't need a #1 receiver. Other teams do. They will pay him accordingly, and we will never pay him beyond a top level #2. So, he's as good as gone. We will draft our #2 this year, potentially in the same mold as him, and most likely not in the first round either. I'm looking at round 2 for his replacement. We should also get a good comp if he's signed to a #1 receiver contract, so I don't see as forgoing a 3rd round comp pick to re-sign him for outlandish money.Iloka is a different story IMHO. He's young and quite possibly our #1 starter in that position. No way will we let him walk easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Not Bengal related but the Dolphins are about to acquire Byron Maxwell and Kiko Alonso from the Eagles. Thats going to be a significant chunk of change and probably takes them out of the running for our guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone really wants to pay him 9 mill, peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Smith is going to get a lot of money. Probably the most on the market. Its starting to sound like a bidding war is about to ensue for Adam. Fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
