Stewart is the only unsigned 2025 1st round pick left now. Who was the las 1st round pick to sign lest year? Yeah, you got it...Amarius Mims.

Grain of salt and all that.

Poor choice of words. I think that we are all too familiar with the linemen whiffing on their blocks. 🤨

Agree. At two per year in ten years we will have Fat Randy and Elvis Peacock as nominees.

I'm beginning to think the NFL should slot all drafted players contracts and cut out the negotiating. Get drafted #1? You get X for salary and X for a signing bonus. Rounds 1-3 get 4 year contracts , 4-7 get 3 years and teams can start on extensions in the last year. You can sign immediately after you're drafted or a week before training camp, makes no difference. Same amount of money either way. Eh, maybe I'm frustrated.

He's now the only 1 left from Rd 1

The Bengals are also badly losing the PR battle on this ... See the last line of his Wikipedia

It was reported pre draft that his agent was a dick and had an aggressive style with teams for workouts. So I would guess he's trying to make a name for himself as the next Jerry McGuire / Mulugheta. But even with all that said and even if his Jersey Shore sleeze ball agents suck ass, why the fuck are the Bengals giving them ammunition by changing the language? Just delay this precedent until next year at this point. It's not a hill worth dying on.

Then it looks like 3 agents and his dad came with him the next day on his first visit to Cincy ... (Which seems odd, as usually it's just parents or a wife for that). The agents also posed for the photos 😎, which again, seems a little unusual. aipEsWZPgMBWLRs8.mp4.ba73b6b7ecdd06bb80d71cfaf7d775b7.mp4

The agent(s) can be seen on the phone and filming when Stewart was drafted. a8TuIChMqdYppm0W.mp4.1e74699f99e6329b6bef00b3fbf4be6b.mp4

After this I would only induct 1 person every 2 years for the next 10 years. Then I would go to 1 person every 3 years after that permanently. It begins to lose its esteem if you have 50 guys in it.

Too many combinations. The old retro jerseys prove that if a uniform is done right it only needs 2 versions: a home and an away. Nobody would look at the Broncos 'orange crush' uniforms or the undefeated Dolphins and think "you know what this really needs is a version in black." All of these alternate versions are buckets of water in a leaky ship, trying to deflect from the fact that many teams have ruined their uniforms from 40 years ago.

Sauce Gardners big brother is his agent. That’s pretty cool.

Tomorrow we find out. The last two times the enshrinees both finished in our top 3, but they were NOT our 1-2 choices. Guess we'll see if that trend holds. This is also almost certainly the final year for enshrinees to be selected in this manner.

Yeah the agent is a turd, allegedly. I keep coming back to the logic being used by Stewart’s camp. Had he been drafted by a team who already used this sort of default language (supposedly a majority of them), he would have gladly accepted it and signed. But if the team didn’t already use that language, then he wouldn’t accept it. That seems a pretty weak argument to me. There was also no real reason outside of spite to refuse to sign the injury waiver to participate in practices. Mims signed it last year if Stewart is so worried about precedent.

From last month, but it sounds like the running game scheme is being tweaked again: DOWNHILL CHASERunning back Chase Brown likes how offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher and Taylor have tweaked the running game this spring. With new offensive line coach Scott Peters sharpening double-team blocks, there's a whiff of familiarity coming downrange for Brown. "It's exactly how I ran it at Illinois. It will be awesome," Brown said after Tuesday's practice. "We're going to be a more downhill team this year. Eliminate some negative plays. Keep ahead of the chains. That's what matters in this league. Staying ahead of schedule. It's extremely important and I think it's going to help us a lot." The Bengals moved on from their run-game coordinator of the last few seasons, former offensive line coach Frank Pollack, and it sounds as if Taylor and Pitcher have been at the blackboard. A downhill game usually denotes safer, quick hitters designed for between the tackles. "Being more downhill lowers the possibility of a negative yardage play. That's kind of our mindset as a run unit this year," Brown said. "Those quick hitters can be big plays when you make guys miss."

Would you prefer it if his agent was Mulugheta? Are the Poston brothers still around?

And Knight is just a malcontent who listens to his agent too much, amirite?
