Patriots making all the right moves this offseason... meanwhile the Bengals are losing half of their team!

Good for him! Players abandoning ship, and who can blame them. Marvin's return sent bad message.

Players still here has to see the writing on the wall. This 6-9-1 team got significantly worse.

Too bad MB didn't strike while the window was open, and get rid of Marvin for some fresh eyes. Now Dalton/Greens prime is pretty much blown.

I've been saying for a while now that Rex would be a perfect fit for the Pats. He might do huge things over there... congrats to Rex

Good for him.  Now he can get a ring.  They are screwing themselves on comp picks, though.

Geez, thought Rex would fit there like a glove. Look for him to be a breakout player this year with his hands and vision.

The Pats are definately doing great, wish we would try and just follow suit. This is how you do it.

Add players that fit what you like to do. Getting Cooks and Burkhead just made their Offense much more dangerous.

Yep... definitely a fantasy sleeper for non Bengals fans. I really hope he does great, even though he's playing in the same conference. He deserves it

I don't know why they can't just rest on their laurels and give somebody else a chance.

What are the Pats doing? They wont get any comp picks, or have a money pool for rookies and injuries.



I cant believe how horribly that franchise is run.

Geez...are we just giving up now or what?

Glad for Burkhead. He deserves a shot and much better than what this stupid franchise will do for him.

Pffff ...

I don't care how bad the oline is this makes me hope they go RB in the first or second round.

We have to be thinking RB in the 1st now. Hill is awful and Gio is out.

RB is a luxury pick with all the holes we have opening up.

They used to have a Woodhead, now they have a Burkhead.

good, now we can quit talking about this guy who everyone on this board thought was a future hofer

Goodbye Bengals team....

Nobody ever once said anything close to that ever.  Never.  Not once.  Enough with this stupid narrative.

Well, as most would agree, Rex was clearly better than Jeremy Hill, who is somehow still on our team and Rex is not.

Getting a little bit unfair isn't it?

They just want to dominate this league.

Wish we had one millionth of that want.

I finally have a name for the Bengals strategy.....

Subtraction by subtraction.
