January 12, 201610 yr I'd let Hall, Smith, Winston and Tate leave for sure... The others I'd try to get back if possible.
January 12, 201610 yr Leon Hall $9,600,000 UFA - I would be interested in resigning Hall but at way way less than what he earned in 2015. I am thinking 2 to 3 million range. Andre Smith $6,362,500 UFA - I would probably let Smith walk because of drafting two tackles, his cap number, and his past. Only stays with a deep hometown discount. Reggie Nelson $4,775,000 UFA - Age, injury, and price all work against Nelson. Two years, 2 to 3 million per year or I let Reggie walk. Vincent Rey $3,100,000 UFA - Find a way to sign him, 3 million is too much money. Adam Jones $2,550,000 UFA - The Bengals have to clean house on player personal issues, Pacman is the obvious choice because he is a FA, I let Pacman walk - and I love Pacman. Emmanuel Lamur $2,356,000 UFA - Coming back from injury, vet minimum only if he makes the team. Wallace Gilberry $2,050,000 UFA - Production is sliding, vet minimum only if he makes the team. Mohamed Sanu $1,682,813 UFA - Sanu would be one of my first priorities, sign him. George Iloka $1,582,075 UFA - Given the other issues with the DBs I am changing course on Iloka and I would sign him. Eric Winston $950,000 UFA - If Smith walks I may keep Winston at the vet minimum assuming he can play all positions on the OL. Brandon Thompson $795,300 UFA - Vet minimum if he can make the team. Marvin Jones $700,700 UFA - Definitely would sign Jones, pay him a fair wage and sign him. Brandon Tate $665,000 UFA - With Pacman on the way out (if it was my team) I would hold onto Tate for the Vet minimum unless someone comes in and beats him out. Pat Sims $665,000 UFA - Vet minimum and I would resign him. T.J. Johnson $510,000 ERFA - Not enough info for me.
January 13, 201610 yr Stunned to see the price differential between Hall & Pacman--Adam is quite a steal by comparison, penalty or no penalty.
January 13, 201610 yr Leon Hall $9,600,000 UFA Andre Smith $6,362,500 UFA Reggie Nelson $4,775,000 UFA Vincent Rey $3,100,000 UFA Adam Jones $2,550,000 UFA Emmanuel Lamur $2,356,000 UFA Wallace Gilberry $2,050,000 UFA Mohamed Sanu $1,682,813 UFA George Iloka $1,582,075 UFA Eric Winston $950,000 UFA Brandon Thompson $795,300 UFA Marvin Jones $700,700 UFA Brandon Tate $665,000 UFA Pat Sims $665,000 UFA T.J. Johnson $510,000 ERFA Source: Cincyjungle.com I would sign back Adam Jones. His emotional outburst cost us, however his play also was a reason why they should have won the game before that. When he played the Steelers offense did very little in the two games he played, plus his punt return set up the game winning touchdown. He is your best corner and returner, that would be hard to lose. I would definitely sign Marvin Jones, you can't lose him. I would try to sign Sanu but I have a feeling he is going to want to go to a place here he is the #2 receiver and not the #4 overall option of offense like he is here. Nelson will cost to much most likely. Let Andre Smith walk. Brandon Thompson and Pat Sims are both players I would try to sign back. George Illoka I would sign back and have him and Shawn Williams as the starters next year. Vinny Rey I would definitely because he can play all the linebacker spots.
January 14, 201610 yr That is EXACTLY how I feel.................about Leon Hall. Additionally, I clearly like Iloka more than most of you. I don't see any way Andre Smith is back. I think they keep the two WR's, one of the safeties, and Pac Man. I am with you on iloka. He played well enough this year and will be cheaper than Nelson....though a ball hawking free safety isn't exactly easy to find. I am ok with losing Sanu. They tried to use him, but he went missing way too often. I would like to see a good slot receiver come in to help with this 3rd and short issue.

I dont think it was an issue of Sanu not getting open for why his production dropped. It was more he is the 4th option usually because of Green, Eifert, and Jones being looked at before he is. He may be the number 3 receiver but he is the 4th option just like anyone will be if they replace him.
January 14, 201610 yr Per Richard Skinner: LIKELY GONE -- DB Leon Hall: Hall struggled more and more as the season progressed, and unless he is willing to take a huge pay cut then he likely won't return, even if the Bengals lose Jones in free agency. -- OT Andre Smith: The writing for this was on the wall when the Bengals selected tackles in the first and second round of the 2015 draft and then signed left tackle Andrew Whitworth to an extension through the 2016 season. Cedric Ogbuehi will likely slide in Smith's spot as the starting right tackle. -- WR Mohamed Sanu: This will likely be his choice as much as the Bengals as he seeks a chance at more playing time somewhere else (Cleveland perhaps). The only he might return is if Jones signs elsewhere. -- DE Wallace Gilberry: He has been a key member of the defensive line rotation the past couple of seasons and was better served in the reserve role he played in 2015 than the starting role he played in 2014. He might simply cost too much to bring back, especially if another team makes him a good offer, and the Bengals do have Margus Hunt and Will Clarke waiting in the wings. -- OT Eric Winston: The veteran provided key depth while Ogbuehi missed the first 11 games of the season while coming back from January knee surgery. Winston was placed on the inactive list for the regular-season finale and playoff game and it's hard to believe he will return unless he signs at the exact price the Bengals offer.

January 14, 201610 yr 3 of the 4 guys I'd let walk for sure as I said earlier... Hall, Smith and Winston... Hope they let Tate go too and improve the kick return game
