January 22, 200719 yr Author I'd take it, but there are other problems on D. I don't know what the draft has to offer in terms of linebackers, but I'd like to see someone with an attitude there for the Bengals. If Clements wants to come back to Ohio, for a reasonable price, I'm game. I don't know that that'll happen, though. I never said his price would be "reasonable"...
January 22, 200719 yr I never said his price would be "reasonable"... So you'd be willing to overpay?
January 22, 200719 yr Author So you'd be willing to overpay? They can afford to overpay one player in the top of the FA market....
January 22, 200719 yr They can afford to overpay but which position do they chose? If Smith is let lose they need a DE, and could use another DT along with another LB and another CB, man we need more than one on D.
January 22, 200719 yr Samuuel played some good CB today, the Bengals could use another CB to go along with JJ and Deltha. The last word: "We've talked to them about a new contract. What they offered isn't even worth discussing. It's disappointing. You want to believe that they know what you've done. So you hope for the best, but end up feeling underappreciated. You feel disrespected, especially (with) how they come at you with so much negative stuff. They show you such a low regard. I took it personally at first. You'd think I would have been around this team long enough to realize that it's all about business." -- New England cornerback Asante Samuel, who tied for the NFL lead in interceptions in 2006 and who can become an unrestricted free agent this spring, on contract discussions with Patriots officials
January 22, 200719 yr I expect one big name FA on D. LB, CB or DL... I know it's a huge longshot, but can we dream of Freeny in black and orange?
January 22, 200719 yr They can afford to overpay but which position do they chose? If Smith is let lose they need a DE, and could use another DT along with another LB and another CB, man we need more than one on D. Not if they switch to a 3-4.
January 22, 200719 yr 2007 Cap Limit $109,000,000 Estimated Bengals 2007 Salary/Cap $84,564,406 Dead Money $63,500 Players 45 Cap Space (Under) $24,372,094 Includes Offseason Roster - top 51 salaries 51 Cap Space (top 51 salaries) $22,437,094 Number of Players Signed 45 Avg Salary per Player $1,879,209 Players to fill out 53 man roster 8 Avg Salary Available per Player $3,046,512 http://www.cap.go-bengals.com/ As Marvin Lewis says, the cap number is fluid because of roster decisions.
January 22, 200719 yr Author As Marvin Lewis says, the cap number is fluid because of roster decisions. Thanks Cpt Obvious...
January 22, 200719 yr Not happening this year. I don't believe that decision has been made yet; last year it depended on who they got in the draft. I believe this year will be the same; they will look at personnel and see who fits what scheme the best. With nothing happening, I like Robinson, Adams, Thornton, Fanene, Smith, Peko, & Rucker competing for the top 6 positions. That would leave at LB-Geathers(switch OLB), Brooks, Miller, Jeanty, L. Johnson, Simmons, Nicholson fighting for spots with Friazier and hopefully Wilkins back for special teams.
January 23, 200719 yr Not happening this year. Honestly I think there is a decent chance it will happen this year maybe...
January 23, 200719 yr L-A-N-C-E B-R-I-G-G-S That would be AWESOME! I'd be dancing in the streets!!! :dancingpa :banana: :dancingpa :banana:
January 23, 200719 yr L-A-N-C-E B-R-I-G-G-S The Bears are NUTS if they let him get away! #1 choice for Stick!
