sparky151 Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 Eh. Adeniji doesn't play at a high level but is versatile and provides cover until we get an upgrade. I'm not opposed to finding better tackles and backup guards but someone has to beat him out. Cody Ford's contract details came out and he's on a veteran minimum benefit deal which counts less on the cap. So they're giving him a chance but that's about it.

membengal Posted March 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 SIX teams - and we landed him. New day. Quote had offers from Dolphins, Vikings, Jags, Bengals, Atlanta and Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 We signed him to a 1 year deal in free agency and the next season he was a free agent again. I think that's when he retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 Refresh my memory... what is this Cordy Ford supposed to do? ORT or fight it out with Carman (no-faith vote here), Adeniji (buh bye) and now it looks like Jonah may not have any takers for a trade (at least for what the Bengals want) and may be back and in the ORT mix, too, like it or not. I am also thinking some of the signings on one year contracts are kind of placeholders until this year's draft picks get some OJT and up to speed to step into the starting slot for a number of years to come and relatively cheap on a rookie contract.

He's a locker room guy, he went to school with Brown and Mixon at OU. He's a depth signing, probably the 7th or 8th lineman on the team at best. He might not make the final 53, but he will be good guy to have around during the offseason and TC. You know Taylor likes his Sooners and Huskers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Ford is on a veteran minimum benefit contract so he counts less on the cap than he is being paid. Capwise, he's counted like a 2nd year rookie free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
