2.483 million for a kicker. :ohbrother:

[John Anthony]

Wow lets tag a non clutch kicker.

[gametime]

Good thing they are dead to me...

[Jim Schue]

Another display of brilliance from Mr. Brown. :lol:

[HammerTime]

^ Any room on that Black and Gold wagon Jim? :lol:

Dear lord, I have toenail clippings smarter than Mike Brown. How in the world do you do that??!?!? It's not like he is Vinateri or Bironas, he is good but not worth near that.

[ColonelCrazy]

Another display of why the Bengals are the worst professional franchise in sports.

 

We're going to let our best WR "test the waters" in free agency. Great idea.

 

We're going to make our kicker, who missed quite a few games last year, one of the highest paid kickers in the NFL.

 

We're going to keep our WR who doesn't want to be here & may or may not play hard. Again.

 

How stupid can you be?

[HHSDad]

Decent kickers are a dime a dozen. Instead, we pay $2.5 million for one.

I am done with them. I am one of those guys that goes into the season thinking they have a chance and now I am done. :isurrender: Th ey are run by an idiot who uses the franchise tag on a kicker not the best player on the team (TJ). I don't know what else to say. :idunno:

I wish the Bengals would move to Canada and Cincy would bring an expansion team in.

[Jim Schue]

I wish the Bengals would move to Canada and Cincy would bring an expansion team in.

 

If the Bengals were to leave, there would not be another team come to Cincy.

[MSUEagles]

If the Bengals were to leave, there would not be another team come to Cincy.

 

And that would be more entertaining than what they have now.

That is completely untrue. While losing him would hurt, he is not the best player on the team.

I'm curious if the Bengals know that they don't have to use the franchise tag. :ohbrother:
