They are Linderbaum the Iowa center, Zion Johnson the Boston center, or Bernhard Raimann the Central Michigan OT. Probably at least one available still at #31. If they moved up 5 they could choose. Of course FA will have a big impact on the direction.
Both ESPN "guru's" project Linderbaum to go in the mid-teens.
NFL.com typically has him closer to us at the bottom of rnd 1.

Be tampering.
I bet Pac-Man Jones source is PFF
Pro Football Focus predicts the Bengals will sign two free agents on their top 50 list.
They expect Cincinnati to sign Ryan Jensen to a three-year, $39 million contract with $24.5 million guaranteed. The veteran center would be an instant upgrade to the interior of the Bengals' offensive line. He's 12th in the rankings.
Either that or PFF and Adam Jones heard it from the same source.
It definitely could be what the Bengals would offer.
If Jensen or his agents have been in any way involved in such discussions, it would 100% be tampering.

Good point(s). I'm not sure on that tbf.

"I got some great news for you," Jones told Solomon Wilcots on the Bleav in Bengals podcast. "A little birdie said that we [the Bengals] gonna sign Ryan Jensen to a three-year deal for $39 million, which would be a starting center. I hope it goes through. It sound like the little birdie is saying it's almost a done deal."

Was just discussing this with Sunset and Tecmo in the FA forum. That is a bit rich of a deal for an over 30 year old Center.
Think we could get Jensen for cheaper, Bozeman might command that much being young and all.
Bring in Jensen, Daniels, Moses and if we can add Tomlinson or Conner Williams over Spain no one could say the FO didn't
go all out to protect Burrow this FA.

Yeah, I really liked Spain in the regular season but he played pretty crappy in the Playoffs and the SB.
Think Tomlinson would be an upgrade.

I'd be shocked if the Bengals or Jensen were dumb enough to do that, especially in an age when everything ends up getting leaked.
If Jones has sources for this kind of information, I'd also be surprised. The guy likes to still be part of the conversation when people celebrate the team, and he's probably got a cot with his name above it at the county pen so he's definitely still local, but I don't recall ever seeing or feeling that he had a lot of inside connections.
It is mostly just refreshing to hear the Bengals associated with some FAs for once, and not that we know for sure all the big names will be gone out of the gate and we'll just end up with whoever is left over. We still make not have the flashiest FA, but it feels like much more of a possibility now than in years past (even though the team was pretty aggressive last year).

I was thinking the same thing.
If the Bengals were to sign him now wouldn't this make it easy for the Bucs to file a grievance and get draft compensation?

Everyone knows the whole thing is BS. Within the first hour of legal tampering we have names to teams with contract numbers lol.

They can't afford all those players. Nate.
Tomlinson and Jensen would be great with a Tyler Smith or Zion Johnson would fix a lot of things.

Depends on if we extend Bates huge or let him go, same with our DT's in BJ Hill and Ogunjobi.
If we keep all these guys true, we cannot afford all those dudes. But if we let Bates and Ogunjobi go I think we could pull it off.
Depends on how much these OL would want to come here. With Burrow I find things to be much more possible than in the past.
I would be just fine with Jensen, Tomlinson and Zion too. Lots of ways to go about it.

All teams do illegal tampering. The first rule of illegal tampering is you don't talk about illegal tampering. The second rule of illegal tampering is you don't talk about illegal tampering.

Nice.

We will see, I just don't want his extension to cost us too much in upgrading the OL. Need to go all out here.
Keeping our DL strong and most off all getting our OL up to par with the DL has to be the priority even over a Bates extension IMO.
Games are won in the trenches, if we are great on BOTH sides of the ball I don't know who can beat us next season.

Why on earth would anyone listen to a word Pacman says?
The dude doesnt have sources. He is just trying to be an "insider" because he has nothing better to do with his life right now.

I know he's the top center in the draft, but man.... he seems light. 6 foot 3 inches 290 lbs.

That would be the only reason he falls to us, he is undersized.
Doesn't matter to me, he more than holds his own with his technique.
