McCoy to bengals?

I agree with that sentiment, completely.  Also, seeing how they didn't take any WRs in the draft, they must plan on retaining them.



His abilities would certainly open up some interesting possibilities for the defense.

This article gives a lot of good perspective and insight into McCoy, and how he became expendable to Tampa.


This quote is from toward the end of the article, I suggest reading it in it's entirety.  (about a 2-3 minute read)

Good stuff as always, Sunset.  Reading it made me remember how much I wanted Vita Vea coming out of the draft. 

I can't help but think the rotation of Billings, Wren, and a revolving door of DEs rotating inside (Willis, Hubbard, the new guy from the Giants) will do the job and allow them to sign Boyd and, hopefully, AJ Green.
