TigerJ@w Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Is he worth it? What about Price? Ian Rapoport @RapSheet The #Bengals and starting C Trey Hopkins have reached a 3-year extension worth $20.4M, source said. He gets $4.5M in a guaranteed roster bonus. Hopkins will earn $8.95M in year one and $14.4M after year 2. A center locked in, potentially, for No. 1 pick Joe Burrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Yes, quite worth it. Although, he is one of ML’s guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spicoli Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 He's very much worth it. Kid is a rock in the middle of that line and a piece they can build around. AND he apparently wants to be here...what else could you ask for? Williams - Jordan - Hopkins - ? - likely Hart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other reason. No way though that Taylor keeps Glenn, IMO. No matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thezerawkid Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 There was a story suggesting the Bengals bring Whit back to either play G or for depth. Also, to be a solid locker room presence and on field coach. I wouldn’t mind seeing one of our best players finally retire with our team. As long as they can make it happen without overpaying.

SmoothD Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Whit coming back to play guard would be huge. Rams won't be able to afford him, because they are in cap hell next year. I'd also take a strong look at Robert Woods if he is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Hopkins is an NFL average center which makes him an above average player for the Bengals. Good re-signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the Houshmanzadeh or the O Line. Started at the bottom and worked his way into a starter beating out a first round draft choice. As far as Billy Price... in not in how water the temperature is definitely warming up. Not living up to hype and reputation and the previous coach's pick to boot. If they shop him for a trade, don't think they would get more than a mid round pick if that. I'm still a Billy fan and hope he gets all healed up (I suspect some hidden nagging injuries ie Back) and comes on strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 'meh If anything it confirms that the team recognizes Billy Price is a bust. 3 years, $20.4 million, with a $4.5 million guaranteed roster bonus, Ian Rapoport of the NFL reports. Hopkins will earn $8.95 million in the first year and $14.4 million after year two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, we are the experts at drafting those guaranteed contract guys with high picks who are busts and keeping them around for 4 years. It’s like paying cash for a Pontiac Aztek Already own it, nobody wants it, might as well keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tibor75 Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Look at all the talent from OSU players in recent years - Elliott, Thomas, Curtis Samuel, Lattimore, Ward, Bosa brothers, etc. Only one of the them who was a first round pick has completely sucked. Billy Price is Wrong Bitch. And the Bengals got him. Perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I'm not convinced Price is a bust. I think lingering injury is a good guess, or maybe he just doesn't respond to the 4:00 AM death threat coaching style? He looked capable enough last year, just really green. He's another Bengal I would expect to see starting for 10 years on a competent team when he leaves here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add the 2nd round Fisher and Sample and it is downright disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him leaving here and being a starting Patriot lineman for the next decade opening holes for Rex Bulkhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|SF2| Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Price was drafted in the first round to be a day one starter. Same with Jonah Williams. In Price’s case, the club went with an undrafted FA instead. Drafting a center in first round was simply stupid. In Williams case, is it just me or has the team pretty much had a media blackout on the guy? You would think there might be something said about his progress? One softball story about him a few weeks ago being cleared to practice. Thinking this guy will be Andre Smith v2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
