April 29, 201115 yr You don't even know if they were offered anything close to that relax. Reedy is basically saying they got the same offer as Cleveland. My prediction if there isn't a wage scale is Green misses a minimum of 2 games because he doesn't have a contract.
April 29, 201115 yr Where would they have moved up to get what they wanted then? Jones would have been gone at sixth to the Browns. They probably still don't get any of the QB's that were drafted in the first 12 picks. Even though Minnesota was looking to trade down, they wouldn't have with the Bengals since they know the Bengals are looking for QB's. So it might not have been the easiest thing for them to do to trade down, and get someone they really value. I do believe they made the right choice this time. They supposedly are in love with Dalton or at least Gruden is. Most teams will move back.
April 29, 201115 yr Author Reedy is basically saying they got the same offer as Cleveland. My prediction if there isn't a wage scale is Green misses a minimum of 2 games because he doesn't have a contract. He said nothing like that.
April 29, 201115 yr He said nothing like that. Yeah he did. He said the offer was 1756 points. The scale says the Gals pick was valued at 1800 and Clevelands was 1600. He didn't come out and say it word for word but he figured people could read between the lines.
April 29, 201115 yr Uh Oh HT; From cbssports.com 19 minutes ago - Marvin Lewis said the Falcons offered the Bengals the same deal at No. 4 that the Browns accepted at No. 6. Lewis thought the trade of five picks to move back into their No. 27 spot was undervalued. Bengals RapidReports

According to Reedy it was undervalued.
April 29, 201115 yr Ok you can complain now if you want but I was just saying you didn't know before. According to Reedy it was undervalued. I was complaining when Cleveland took it. According to a scale that I'm not sure if they know how to use it was under valued. I still say they didn't have to stay at 27. 5 picks and saving a ton of money isn't a bad idea.
April 29, 201115 yr Author JohnThornton JohnThornton Marvin Lewis just told @Jay_Glazer they are trying to find a way to get back "into it".
April 29, 201115 yr Author Giants get prince amukamara? Nice pick... He has five sisters (Princess, Promise, Peace, Precious, & Passionate).
April 29, 201115 yr You all are too worried about a trade that didn't happen. 3 trades that didn't happen since the Ricky Williams/Akili Smith debacle. Cleveland knew the rule that they were allowed trying to come back up from the 27th pick.
April 29, 201115 yr 3 trades that didn't happen since the Ricky Williams/Akili Smith debacle. Cleveland knew the rule that they were allowed trying to come back up from the 27th pick. My point is, who cares?
April 29, 201115 yr Author Okay? Sorry do you not approve of my post? I just thought that was somewhat strange/amusing.
