Not a feel good story considering how the Pats sign our guys and Mixon’s contract is coming up...
I also realize I’m a bit jaded.

Can you imagine the Patriots' offense with Joe Mixon and AJ Green? Bill Belichick can.

Damn near every player in the NFL right now grew up watching Tom Brady, there is nothing really weird about idolizing the guy. Most players would love to go play in NE because of the culture but that culture includes not making top dollar outside of a select few positions, and HB isn't one of them. That diversion of culture and monetary desire is why NE doesn't get all the FA's in the world, because in the end guys want paid early in their career which is why NE tends to be a 3rd contract type stop.

Joe Mixon and AJ Green will eventually join other former Bengals in New England: Rex Burkhead and Marshall Newhouse. Isn’t James Develin, another former Bengal, still active with the Patriots?

It wouldn't surprise me at all to see the Patriots lure AJ away next year. And honestly I'd like to see him end it with some playoff success.

Develin is on the Patriot's IR
and you forget Mohammad Sanu

He's going to be franchise tagged so the only way they could lure him away would be to trade for him.

So in essence the bengals are NE's minor league team?

Good point! I was mostly focusing on players who went directly from the Bengals to the Patriots but Mohamed Sanu is another fine example of the Bengals seemingly being a feeder team to the Patriots.

Not like the Patriots have taken players the Bengals had and had success with them. What do they know about winning, anyway?
Wait, how many playoff games? And Super Bowls? Where's the edit button?

If he leaves here after the Cordy Glenn he pulled this year...I hope nobody takes him and his football days are over. He owes this team a year and a half of football...

One of the incentives NFL owners have to not make their franchise the absolute pits is that you can threaten to send disruptive players to the unemployment line or trade them to a worse franchise. We are so bad that getting rid of malcontent players is a huge reward to them. Whoops!
Firing someone shouldn't be a reward, but here we are. I assume we tag him and force him to stay here, not unlike King Koopa kidnapping the princess in order to force her to marry him...or something.

But Oswalds Legacy says he sucks!
Surely he knows more than Bill Belichick lmfao

I'd be ok with tagging him and forcing him to stay here (like I said, and not a lot of people agree is that he owes this team and fans by default 1 1/2 years of football).
Or, tagging him and trading him, thereby controlling where he goes.
As if you couldn't tell, I'm not the "let bygones be bygones" type....
