The panthers cut Short to save 8 million in cap spacy, they ate 11 million in dead money.

Should Bengals sign Short and cut Geno? Both fighting through injuries.
Short should be cheaper option, but I hope Bengals get creative and keep Geno by agreeing to get him to take a huge pay cut.

Short has been less productive due to injuries for couple of years. He may be done.

Thoughts?

No way we should sign Short.

And this makes it more likely that Moton will be re-signed by the Panthers.

This exactly. This makes it even more important that we draft Sewell or Darrisaw or Slater.

Good teams find a way to keep their high quality O-linemen or atleast get a good return in trade. We have to spend draft capital to fix this line.

Moton will be resigned or tagged, no way they let him hit the market so I agree Fred.

I also agree no to Short unless a league minimum type deal with incentives.

I also think either way, we have to either cut Geno or get him to agree to a cut in pay. He is not worth his current contract and has not been for 2 years.

Wouldn't touch a 32-year-old DT who has played 5 total games the last 2 years with a 10-ft pole. (Unless we're talking a REAL cheap prove-it kind of deal.)

I'm also only seeing him as a Pro Bowler 2 times. Where's the other 4 from?

well Free Agency happens first... So it doesnt really change the fact we need to target OL in free agency just the target itself
