Bengals.com the very end of Ideas and Influences. I really believe these deals get done. Just my opinion.

I like it
If they're here working on contracts and we're working on it as the main priority heading into the draft, then I see no reason why it won't get done.
Opens up our draft a bit

Lafell and Dansby would be great veteran additions to the Bengals roster. C'mon Bengals, let's get these deals done!

Quit being such a sad sack YXD.
I bet Dansby, Reggie and Lafell sign tomorrow. It is Easter afterall. We wouldn't here anything until Monday.
I knew this last week.

Agreed, Monday | Tuesday would be the days with travel being impossible during this time...

I'm sure it also co-insides the players union as well...

Yep. Here's the actual last line of the article...
Geoff Hobson Wrote:_The Bengals’ immediate plan looks pretty clear. Finish off negotiations with veteran wide receiver Brandon LaFell and veteran linebacker Karlos Dansby in the next week or so and head into the draft.

"Finish off negotiations" doesn't necessarily mean that these deals are going to happen. It might just mean that if they can work something out, great. If not, they will not look to sign any more FAs until after the draft. Fingers crossed it means the former though!
RE: any news on Dansby - XenoMorph - 03-28-2016
if they had left their would have been mention of it...
So i assume both are in town still
RE: any news on Dansby - jj22 - 03-28-2016
When visits are announced/confirmed they are gone. Dansby and Lafell are long gone. Doesn't mean signings won't happen tho, but typically in free agency, Bengals/Hobs don't discuss visit. They just confirm them when they leave.

I'm at a loss on how it takes multiple weeks to negotiate and get two players that were released under contract.
I mean you either offer them a deal or not. I wouldn't be shocked if 3 weeks from now we'll see tweets again saying were close to deals with Dansby and LaFell.
Sign these guys or just move the hell on....

Look around. there are dozens of unsigned free agents.
The idea that teams just hand out blank checks or that agents take the first offer from a team does not match reality.
RE: any news on Dansby - JungleRock85 - 03-29-2016
Hobson tweeted a statement saying things have heated up with Dansby so it sounds like something could be announced as soon as today.

you really need to chill..
Bengals make an offer that fits into their budget... Players agent makes a counteroffer and it goes back and forth untill they either agree or walk away.
Players dont always sign the first offer presented and teams dont pay players everything they want.

True. We won't really know what's going on until we see Dansby and/or Lafell sign somewhere (else).
As long as they are still out there, all we can do is hope, I guess.

The #Bengals are signing LB Karlos Dansby today, source said. The former #Browns defender visited last week.

You are really struggling with this I see. Perhaps this will help. You should probably realize that there is a LOT more that goes into contract negotiations than simply the years, and overall contract amounts. There are off season workout bonuses, performance escalators based on a number of different scenarios. Such as percentage of snaps played, seasonal stats, etc. Most contracts even have language in them concerning the players personal time and the restrictions the teams place on the players as to what they can and cannot do. Not every team will have the same restrictions, and even each player may differ from one contract to the next within the same team. Sometimes the language needs to be clarified after reading the initial contract etc.
(just a hypothetical situation) Lets say the Bengals have a clause in the contract that forbids the player from participating in any skateboarding activity. But a player has a child that is really into skateboarding. Does the wording of "not participating in ANY skateboarding activity" include them not being able to enter the skate park with their child? When you're signing a contract for millions of dollars, I think one would want to know 100% for sure what defines "any skateboarding activity" before signing, only to find out later you breached the contract.
The world is not as simple as you seem to think it is, or think it should be.
RE: any news on Dansby - Sled21 - 04-02-2016
There's also the fact that the player may be on the other side of the country with prior engagements, and just hasn't been able to get down to PBS to sign yet...
