I like the idea of trading Williams and wonder if that was in the Bengals plans all along to get rid of the 12 million cap hit even before he asked for a trade.
They would play it safe and keep him, but the funds go a long way re-signing our big names.

It is hard to get a read on these new Bengals though. In the great draft debate as you put it I just thought 12 million and a 2nd round pick in Carman was too much invested at LT then bam we get Orlando. I was flabbergasted but now we are set at LT LG C and RG for three years or so if Volson can take that second-year step. That is why I think we need that RT that will be here for three plus years the younger the better which is why Collins and Williams do not seem to fit because of injuries and age.

Brown and his agent approached Cincy Tuesday. They had unexpectedly lost all of Bates/Bell/Hurst/Perine. They’d not even looked at OBJr as a possibility. Tuesday they told Pollack to look over his film. Zac called his contacts in Norman about his character and the price was much lower ( 16m) than they ever imagined but they gave him a lot of upfront money to make it work. Zac fell asleep on the couch with his kids at 8:30 woke up at 12:30 and his phone had blown up from his grade school buddies with Boomer Sooners and figured it had gone through (10:30). He said he had to scroll through a bunch to get to Steven Radicevic’s.
