Do they even check the open FA market for guys that are actually good at playing football? Or is this the most convenient person to sign?
Probably cheapest too

Didn't he have surgery before the combine?

Yeah, that's why he went undrafted even though he was the 5th rated center and can play all five spots. Latest article I have read said he has recovered and back in shape waiting on an opportunity to get into the league....he may not help at tackle, but he sure as hell is could upgrade the guard/center position...

I'd roll with Westerman here pretty soon. He literally can't be any worse than what we're starting now.

Seriously lol, if they signed a folding chair as a free agent it would put up more resistance than any of our current o-linemen

how about this Kent Perkins dude on the practice squad? If he can't get any playing time in these conditions and circumstances what's the point of having him around?

Perkins, Westerman...there has to be no hope of them.
If you are a backup on one of the worst offensive lines ever...

Well that may solve the C situation, but it does nothing for OT...

True, but honestly, C is just as big a problem....if not worse. When the tackles get beat, Blodine is getting shoved back into the pocket simultaneously, so there's essentially nowhere to go.

...Back to the Future with Marv!!
I'll see your bet and raise you a Nate Livings! How I miss watching him get BTFO on every play. Ahhh, the good old days!
Anyhow, too bad about Fisher. Hope he sorts out his health.

Tough personnel decisions like this are why Mike Brown pays himself the big bucks to be the GM.
Probably still had Winston's phone number in his Rolodex. Flew Winston into town coach. Signed the deal during lunch at Wendy's.

Seriously. That is probably an upgrade at 2 spots. Andre has been getting smoked by speedy guys.
That was always his downfall, even when he was at the top of his game.
RE: Eric Winston is back/Fisher Done for the Year? - muskiesfan - 11-08-2017
I think my favorite part about all of this is that we were told by this shithole organization that there were no upgrades available for the OLine. If he hasn't written it already, Hobson will write an article proclaiming the signing of Winston as a brilliant move and how it will help the OLine. The Bengals talk out both sides of their mouth better than politicians.

"Winston left a lasting impression on this organization. He did have a real nice ass groove going in his film room chair." said Alexander proudly.

Eric Winston is the last thing this young line needs right now (IMO)
I remember when we first brought Winston in, he started talking in interviews as if he had been here for years. Made it sound like he and Whit had to keep the youngins up to speed. But the dude had only been there a few weeks? I feel like he is very pompous.
The only 'tough' thing Eric Winston does each day is look at his ugly mug in the mirror.
RE: Eric Winston is back/Fisher Done for the Year? - CageTheBengal - 11-08-2017
Why do we keep bringing back the same old people? He got cut for a reason and we know exactly what he brings to the table which is....? I got nothin'.
Why are they so afraid of new players who haven't been on the team before? We hop all over guys like Andre Smith.
