edit:  The only thing about a contract extension for Ja'Marr is the Bengals have a bunch of other needs right now and if they gave Ja'Marr an extension right now, they probably couldnt address the other holes on the roster.

My worry with waiting to get a RT in the draft but not in the 1st round is I don't see many plug and play guys outside of Rd 1.
Suamataia from BYU probably the last guy on the prospect rankings I would consider as someone who could start Day 1 and be serviceable or better.


I feel better about the Day 2 WRs than I do about the Day 2 RTs in this draft class.

Also lacking from last year and again this year is a pass rushing DT.  We did not generate enough pressure from the inside.  That should be addressed.  From the way I see it the Bengals really need to add 3 DT's with free agent signings+the draft.

Surely, it can't be that they cannot talk about the signings that were already announced. It's not like the Bengals signed Henry or a big name. The ones signed barely caused a ripple on ESPN and NFL.com.  

It's really starting to annoy me that they posted this. Why bother posting it at all?

But this makes no sense otherwise. What, Minny will pay Tee $25 but won't pay Jefferson $30+? They aren't paying Cousins. 

The only way it makes a lick of sense is if JJ told them he is gone next year no matter what.

JJ wants a reunion, that we've long known.

We’d probably have to give up our 1st, Tee and a 2nd next year.


Vikings have no QB, they’re rebuilding. Ok that’s all I got for reason it would work. I have a million why it won’t.
