To be clear to Bengals fans, Bengals remain very much in it for Collins. Merely saying no deal was struck at conclusion of his visit. He might take other visits. Fins a possibility, but no visit planned as of several minutes ago. https://t.co/6JQ5vqt0Wq

If he left without a deal, it’s done.

On to the sub-replacement level bargain basement guys.

We literally just paid Cappa 10 million a year. That’s a lot for a OG. It’s just not absolute top dollar like Thuney or Scherff.

If it was money, I hope they work it out. Miami has reportedly started going in a different direction, so maybe they won't press as much.

Very true... Waynes screw up, Barrett screw up.... who is running this med team?

Look at their contracts and the guys signed at the same time by other teams. Look at their guaranteed money! Its insane! And we have a ton of money!

That’s what I’m saying, it’s not high end money like what Thuney or Scherff get.

The bengals would rather play a back up at G than have to spend that much money on a position the front office doesn’t value highly

Belichick wanted him back but yet wasn’t able to offer better than 6M/year. Gotta wonder why? Because he’s not a tier 1 free agent. He was cheap. Hopefully he outplays his pay.

He’ll probably be a fine player. But once again, the Bengals aren’t willing to spend on the O line. And this is more proof.

Pats fans (the ones I know) were upset we got Karras. Just because he didn't sign a top dollar deal doesn't mean he isn't a good starter.

If it's the physical, I'll take a lame Collins over a healthy Prince or Adeniji.  (After the Shaq Barrett embarrassment I will never trust our med team)

If it's the money, this would be a major problem for me as there is no way they scheduled this visit without having parameters in place.


We will find out eventually.  

I read blurbs on Twitter that when nfl people talked about Collins, the 1st thing that comes up is his hip. So I don't know.

If we traded for him, $0 guaranteed. I'm sure he wants guaranteed money now.

Now the Brownies are the team to beat in the AFC? Get a grip. Maybe Buffalo, KC, SD but Cincinnati is still right there at the top.

Some of you are acting like Collins is Anthony Munoz and that he doesn’t have medical and off the field red flags. They made the SB with a poor OL that they have already improved it by spending some $. Relax and let this all play out instead of throwing temper tantrums and acting like the Bengals haven’t done good things in FA over the last couple of years.

Just because you make the SB, it doesn’t makes you the team to beat. How many teams that lost the SB make it back? Why is that? It’s because it takes some degree of flat out LUCK to make the SB. How do you tip the scales of luck in to your favor? You stack your team with talent. Bengals are a great team, but we’re not the only team with a good roster and a good QB. This team needs O line players in a bad way.


The browns beat us twice. With Baker. Don’t act like we’re superior to them. The division could be won by us, browns, or Ravens and I wouldn’t be shocked. They’re all good teams.

If they had overpaid to get Scherff people would be whining about his injury history.

Sign Fisher and Williams + move Jonah to LG. You solve the Oline.

Yes. The margin is paper thin among the top 10 teams. Becoming elite, is hard.

don’t deflect

The bengals would rather play a back up with question marks than spend big money on an elite guard or center

Damn. Not even Burrow can close the deal.

Exactly. James Daniels signed with the Steelers for under what was expected and everyone was freaking out talking about what a deal they got. We sign a solid player for a reasonable deal and he’s “bACkUp qUAliTy.”

Sometimes you have to overpay to get what you want. Every other team does it. We stick to our guns. Hope it works out but I have seen this play out a lot over the years. Excuse me for being bitter. Just tired of us losing out on players and hearing all the excuses. Get this done if he is healthy.

Not really. Just look at the 180 that Deshaun Watson pulled.

Unfortunately this is Cincinnati.....we don't always get those breaks.

I don't believe you'd get to a Physical unless the money was right.

If the Physical showed warnings, you may want to amend the offer.

That's when things get murky and could go either way.

I think it's weird that other teams aren't lining up for visits after this.
