Perhaps some (like myself) are hoping to find some news regarding an official deal with LaFell only to find bickering back and forth over nothing.

We're now close to 2 weeks since LaFell's visit and a full week since it was announced we were "closing in" on a deal. Btw, Dansby's deal isn't official either and it was only announced that a deal is "almost" done.

Fwiw, I do think we'll get these guys signed, but I've never seen a couple of lower level FA's take so long to sign. Especially when word is that deals are imminent. Maybe LaFell and Dansby are disappointed in the current market for their services? I don't care what anyone says, free agency is moving slower than usual this year. It does typically slow down after the first few days, but damn.

There's still plenty of decent players available and they're barely even taking visits, let alone signing contracts. I'm guessing that agents are waiting for things to heat up so they can get better offers, while teams are waiting it out for prices to drop. Some of these guys may have to wait til the draft is finished from the looks of it.

Dansby has signed.

"On Tuesday, The Enquirer confirmed through a league source that Dansby and the Bengals are on the verge of consummating a deal after visiting the club last week -- on Wednesday the deal became official. The linebacker agreed to a one-year deal."

Good news, probably the right thing to only do a one year deal with his age.

If he keeps it up just keep giving him one year deals.

Ha. So 45 minutes after my post, the Dansby signing becomes official. Hopefully LaFell is next.

Btw, I love that Dansby will probably come with a built in hatred for the Steelers, coming from his Super Bowl loss to them in '08 and his time with the Browns.
