Anyone up there have a pulse?  You know spring break only applies to students, right?  Did someone give up winning for Lent?

Sign a free agent, please; someone who was on another team last year -- and no former Bengal retreads except for Andre Smith.  Show us you care about winning.  Show us your concern for Andy Dalton's physical survival.

How about Nick Mangold?  He's a local hero like AJ Hawk.  

What about DJ Fluker?  He's fits the Bengal template: SEC pedigree, guard/tackle hybrid.

Jahri Evans is a terrific guard.  Don't ask me, ask Drew Brees.

There is a YUGE free agent list online, Front Office, and last time I checked the internet is free even though you're still probably using dial-up there at Paul Brown Stadium. There are still quality players available at all positions.

Show us you're committed to winning.  Just make a move, even a lame one.

A 5th round comp will NEVER be comparable for what Whit could provide the next 2-3 years. If the Bengals didn't know that Whitworth could only yield a 5th round comp, they should be ashamed.

Their OLine took some big hits yesterday, why would they have any interest in someone that may be able to improve the line? That's right! Because it'll cost money.

Its like, I'd fight Mike Tyson for $10 million.  I'd be happy to take one punch, gets knocked out and go collect my winnings.

They have shown last two years that they have no desire to win and will not pay to keep you even if you prove yourself worthy.

Have to wait for the desperate leftovers and the end of their rope now it appears.

Keep Marvin, PA, and Pacman while letting go Marvin Jones, Sanu, Andre Smith, Whit, and Zeitler.

It is hard to understand this sort of reasoning.

They never really target a guy that fits here and goes out and get them.

Look at Dansby and Harrison...both were looking for teams. They offered both contracts. Harrison signed for less. Nevermind that Dansby could cover TE's and was a better fit (at the time).
