Bengals Signings/Re-signings FA period 2023


Recommended Posts

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.

Agree.

Remember the days when players would use the Bengals to set the market

price and then sign elsewhere?

Or we'd sign has-beens looking for one last paycheck - a la Clyde Simmons, Gary Reasons, etc

I remember all the fanfare signing A.J. Hawk, jerseys in the pro shop and everything.

Then... he was just gone.  Disappeared *poof*.

I'm sure I missed it but I didn't read it anywhere, just one day... gone.

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.

 Funny you mentioned Hawk.  I had forgotten about his 1 year with the Bengals until I started watching Pat McAfee Youtube show where he frequents it.

Lol there was no fanfare for AJ Hawk. Pretty sure everyone knew he was washed up when they signed him. Don’t be ridiculous.

AJ Hawk has a cool last name and hair style, outside of that he was pretty average in the NFL.

He was a good player but did what all NFL players do, got old.  He did play in one game for Atlanta after us.

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
