Carlos Dunlap is here at Bengals minicamp after skipping OTA's. 2018 is a contract year for him but he says he wants to remain a Bengal because "they gave me my first shot." @WLWT pic.twitter.com/KVuAg1Tqyf

Carlos Dunlap is back. Said his agent and #Bengals are "making progress" toward a new contract. He said he wanted to train on his own and OTAs are voluntary.

Most Bengal extensions don't get done until training camp. That seems to be the ay they work.

Never know. Team seems to be much more aggressive now.

Making progress seems to be the new buzzwords these days.. 

Making progress sounds much better than "we're miles apart".

I like it. then next year if need be, we can franchise tag Geno

Hey great, now if only Geno would sit and further negotiations. Really though as long as one signs, we have the tag to use. This is good news.

He and Atkins need to retire as Bengals. Hopefully with a playoff win on their resume's.

These guys are 1-2 in Bengals history in sacks already.

When a football player says "They are miles apart" they literally mean they are miles apart as in each are at home and not sitting across the table from each other.

I hope they do.

I can't see us not doing everything in our power to keep them both, but especially Atkins.

We always seem to mess these things up in the past, but let's hope that we're smarter now without Mike Brown running day-to-day operations (per his own words).

Geno is the best DT in the league and it would be a damn shame to see him go without (at least) one playoff win (which we should have already but Jeremy Hill is a mother******).

With our roster this year and new coaches, it should happen.

Everyone all sentimental and in their feelings about Dunlap! Fearful the front office might pull an either or with him and Geno.

Get it right for once Bengals and sign them both. We failed Big Whit, Peko, Geathers, Nelson, Hall and so on, but I'd like to see some of the core left from the pre Dalton/Green era get that playoff monkey off their back.

I’d be happy with extending Dunlap. I’m just hoping we extend Atkins as well. Have to wonder if he’s waiting for Donald to sign.

Great news, need to have The Kraken and Geno Sackins extended.

These guys both need to retire as Bengals and hopefully with a couple rings.
