|High School Harry| 3,177 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Its time. Not being redundant but all our moves in one spot so far and catching up... https://www.cincyjungle.com/2021/3/2/22310022/ricardo-allen-bengals-nfl-free-agency-2021-falcons-news Falcons Safety Ricardo Allen in for a visit... competition with Williams for a slot with Bates? Quality back up? https://bengalswire.usatoday.com/2021/03/04/bengals-announce-roster-moves-nfl-free-agency/ Re-signed CB Jaylen Davis (a players I said "Who?" when I saw his name on a Bengals jersey last season) and LS Clark Harris ... didn't they put our relatively big bucks on a futures contract for a long snapper a month or so ago? Let's keep it coming 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
|SF2| 4,256 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Couple of visits, not much else going on it seems. That’s fine though, these cap strapped teams need to start cutting soon. No need to be an Arizona and WAY overpay for a player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sparky151 582 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Should be more to come. Waiting for Geno, Hart, Uzomah, Gio, maybe Tupou. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
|High School Harry| 3,177 Posted March 10 Author Report Share Posted March 10 The #Bengals are re-signing QB Brandon Allen to a one-year deal, per source. Allen made five starts last season, knows Zac Taylor’s offense well and now returns to back up and help mentor Joe Burrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WRAPradio 304 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 I think we can save $9M by cutting Geno, $5M by cutting Hart and $5M by cutting Gio. That’s about $19M by cutting 3 players. Gio would be the biggest loss, but we’re already paying Joe a ton of money and we can’t put so much into the RB position. That $19M would allow us to resign either WJIII or Lawson and we’d still be able to add to the large cap availability that we already have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think they will try to “restructure” (which might look like cutting him and re-signing him for less. If Geno says no to that, then he might move on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That $19M would allow us to resign either WJIII or Lawson and we’d still be able to add to the large cap availability that we already have. Not only that but we could re-sign Gio to a more reasonable, market value deal after cutting him and letting him test free agency. He has value in the NFL but it ain't 4 mil per year as a backup. He might be able to get 2 mil per year as a good locker room guy who can play 15-20 snaps per game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I_C_Deadpeople 610 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 It would be beyond idiotic to keep Geno on at his current salary when that same money could be used for a better piece like an OL or for Lawson. Restructure, fine, but he has to be a prove it contract. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lawson and Jackson can test open market.. Theyll find they arent franchise players.. Id go 4yr 50mil on Lawson .12.5mil yr.. .tops Jackson may be the one to leave.. We payed Wayans 14mil a yr and hes going to use that as leverage coming back.. They arent paying 28mil a yr for 2 corners..no way.. Once he sees his true value in thec league he ll accept a lower yearly one.. 4yrs 34mil.....8.5 per yr.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

claptonrocks 545 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 I read this on twitter.. Go all in on improving the Oline like the Browns did.. Sign LG Thuney. Sign RG Zeitler.. Draft Sewell... Start Sewell at RT.. Oline of Williams..Thuney..Hopkins..Zeitler and Sewell.. JB is now protected by a Damn good Oline.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
