I just read it. Its click bait. There's nothing we don't already know.

Could just mean the Bengals are making sure before forking out a big contract.  Due diligence and all that...

Just tell us you have no clue about Hayden Hurst?

Them being ALL IN on Collins isn't just click bait. They wouldn't say that if there were major questions about his hip...

This is the way I am leaning with the information provided.

RT is the only gaping hole on the roster right now. Get the Collins deal done or bring in another vet.

I like Smith’s size and length a lot. He could definitely be a starting OT in this league at some point. Just can’t pencil him in yet though (obviously). I actually just saw that he’s currently working out with Duke Manyweather.

Yeah, don't know why this is even a thing honestly. Hurst will have his best year this year barring injuries too I bet.

The TE position has been upgraded and we can still add a dude like Jelani Woods or Jake Ferguson in the Draft.





Depends on if we extend him after a good season.


Lots of great Corners in this Draft, I just think we need to have the RT position filled in order to draft the best of the pack.

Prince isn't the answer, he is just a good backup.

We will have a RT, even if they miss on Collins they’ll add one. FA doesn’t end today. Worst case scenario we go into the draft with the team we have right this second which is basically the same team that made it to the super bowl except we improved the interior of the O line.

Let's just hope the SI source is not same one used in the Tyler Mathieu is a Steeler thread?

It says it 'feels like' they are all-in. Its just an article about the writers speculation after seeing Malik's tweet. Nothing new there.

Thanks Nicomo, I like seeing D'Ante pushing the sled. He has such upside but yeah, he is more of an OT than a Guard with
his length. I honestly think he could play LT for us in case Jonah went down and be damn good there. Could also be in play
for the future RT position. I was just so surprised by how good D'Ante was at LG in Preseason last year as he was just taking 
Defenders out with his technique and athleticism. Shown good hands too.

I was surprised as D'Ante Smith by all accounts was raw and would take time.

True, plus if Collins is injured and his hip is a big problem I don't want him anyways.

We're not missing on Collins.  Trust me. 

His physical could have been at noon today for all we know. Takes maybe an hour and a half? Sign the paperwork...id expect something soon.

Its probably all ready for sigs, right after the prostate check, 
hand him the pen and lets get on with it

I was a huge fan of both Jackson Carman and D'Ante Smith pre-draft. I'm glad both of them are out their putting in work with a very good off-season coach in Duke Manyweather.

I hope they didn't send him to the local urgent care for his physical, those waiting rooms are full on the weekends.

Watching some scrub push a sled isn't helping...

Not looking like La’El Collins will be visiting Miami. Bengals close to locking him down.

If he is healthy he will be a Bengal today.  I have faith.

It's not about the video its about Duke Mayweather. He is one of the most well respected private OL coaches in all of football. Carman and Smith are just a month removed from the superbowl and are out there putting in the work. I love seeing that.
