The moves clear roughly $3.2 million against the cap this year. Was kind of expected they would be among potential cuts.

 

Two good cuts. Hopefully they can replace them with some quality players.

Thanks for posting.

 

Gathers had a decent career for the Bengals and I wish him the best.

 

On Little, I thought he would do a little more but it just wasn't in the cards.

Geathers hasn't been worth keeping around since he signed his big contract.

[Justafan2]

Geathers was a good player several years ago and seemed like a good teammate and was never in any trouble. His performance lately hasn't been worth his salary though. I wish him well.

[Blue Magic]

Clear up that space to sign Ndamukong!

 

(not really)

 

 

(but seriously)

Geathers should have been cut years ago.

Makes sense cut Geathers a guy never in trouble and keep Pacman Jones?

Geathers is great role player playing DE/DT his brother is on the team also at DT.

I believe Geathers has 3 or 4 brothers in the NFL.

Geathers has been stealing money from the Bengals for the last 3-4 seasons. Good riddance.

If we were talking about a high school team or even a college team I would agree with you. However in the NFL give me the guy who will help our team win more, and that is Pacman. Its the same reason why I was all for them keeping the late Chris Henry. These guys give the team a chance to win. We can have a team full of the best character guys on the planet, however if those guys can't produce then people are not going to be happy no matter how good of a person that guy is. Its the same reason why I didn't like them resigning Peko last year. He is a great guy, but doesn't bring much to the anymore.

When the Bengals picked up Little in the Spring (?) I posted on here that it was a mistake. His physical size and athleticism makes you want to believe he will do something with it. But he was a RB in college and just never developed the ability to catch the ball or run routes. I watched him in Cleveland for 2 or 3 seasons and he was so frustrating. Has dropsy disease. He's probably done in the NFL.
