If it's like his last one, we can cut him without losing much (40$K?) if a better opportunity presents itself in the draft or free agency. Nothing wrong with having him as a 'worst case scenario' heading into camp if we can't draft/sign a better option.
Now, if he's still here in August, I'll grouse. Nothing wrong till then.
I agree completely....

I know this isn't what I'm supposed to be noticing, but is it just the angle or is his hand ginormous? *Insert GOP debate joke here*

Hahaha, thats funny.
But in all seriousness, I believe Brandon Tate is a bengal. He will def retire one, and is loyal. Loyalty goes a long way in life. This is something mike brown gets taken advantage of year in, and year out. I would say get used to it, but i am sure you probably are.

There is though. He's established bad. This is something they could do to attempt a minor upgrade on a more unknown but higher upside player.
This team is virtually 100% risk-adverse. They stick with a bad player because they know him

In life? Sure.
In winning Super Bowls, or heck, even a singular playoff game in 25 years? Nope.

If Adam Jones were coming back then they'd be fine with a newbie as the returner. I think that's pretty simple and pretty obvious actually.
Tate wasn't going to get any serious interest from other teams, so why would you lock this guy up?
Look, rosters spots are valuable. There's only 53 of them and only 46 can dress for a game. So why spend one on a guy like Tate unless you already know your All-Pro returner ain't gonna be back?
They wouldn't be fine with a rookie as a returner if Adam Jones was back. Tate has manned the primary returner spot for years now not Jones. Jones came in on selected occasions him or Tate re-signing here wouldn't change that. They have been reluctant on giving Tate the boot for years because of his experience. It seems like an overreaction because there isn't anything that supports your claim.

I thought Mario Alford might when we drafted him. I think there's been picks over the last couples years they've looked at as possible Tate replacements, but that's never translated to anything on the field.
RE: Bengals Re-Sign.... - oncemoreuntothejimbreech - 03-04-2016
Well, one less draft need. Really opens us up to pick BPA with the undrafted rookie FAs after the 7th round.

That sucks ass! Dennis Roland must have given those pics of Marvin cheating on his wife to Tate!
RE: First Big Resigning - jj22 - 03-04-2016
Of course. We see where their priorities have been.
Down to 7 million in cap space left if you let Hobs tell it.
Look for V.Rey to eat up the remaining cap space.

Yep once you take out the $1 mil for potential dead money for tate in the off chance we cut him and the $5 mil for a contract extension we have to set aside in case we sign him to a big money deal next year. Basically we can only sign one more FA for vet minimum or we'll risk being close to possibly being near getting into a little bit of a slightly possibly could be somewhat near cap space trouble. Better to play it safe than risk that

They are never given real chances to succeed. In pre-season Tate took damn near every return.
RE: Bengals Re-Sign.... - Nately120 - 03-04-2016
We've made the playoffs every year Tate has been here, so if you want to let him walk and watch it become the 90s again FINE BY ME!

This. As long as Tate is on the roster, the other options won't be given as many opportunities to succeed. And if those players don't absolutely WOW in their very limited attempts, the inclination is to go with the player the team is used to.
Sometimes, to see how far you can really go, you have to remove the safety net.

So is Tate like the Mike Nugent of the return game?
