Don't think he has much say in it, does he?

In all seriousness, it's not happening....but what if? lol As a Justin Jefferson owner in fantasy football and a beer vendor at Paycor Stadium, please please please please please lol

Looks like they have picked up former UofL Cardinal Sheldon Rankins from Houston.  2 years $26 Million.  Insurance if DJ Reader walks.

Bengals are signing safety Bell back after the Panthers cut him.

He doesn't have any say in a trade but he does have some control IF they trade.  If he isn't willing to sign a long-term contract with another team it makes a trade highly unlikely.  Teams aren't going to give up anything to get him for 1 season.  For a trade to make sense for the Bengals, Tee has to agree to an extension.

I like it. I believe he is the DT for Houston that dominated Alex Cappa last year. He put Cappa on skates and pushed him into Burrow's lap multiple times in that game.

Looks like Reader is headed to Detroit.

Free agent offensive tackle Trent Brown is scheduled to meet with the Bengals today.  13th highest rated tackle overall last year.  He has 3000+ snaps at RT in his career.  His last 2 seasons were with New England.  I like it.

Word now is that he's signing a 1 year deal with the Bengals.

I saw he signed I believe about an hour ago. It is a 1 year deal.

He is to slow for AFC North pass rushers!

He shut TJ Watt out last year.

Bengals had a great free agent period. Filled needs with very good players. Every signing is an excellent addition. In position to take best available and find value in the draft.
