Hey, @Bengals...

Honestly not nearly as much action as last year. Seems like there is a bit of a bottle neck right now somewhere that are stopping dominos from falling.

This deal is surprising. Both the low cost and more so the 66.7% guaranteed. Godwin is great, but has had major injuries.

Drew Dalman ( C ) reported to Bears.

The sky is falling!

Steeler's messed up not signing TJ Watt to an extension prior to last year. I guess all teams make mistakes.

They said he left $20million plus on the table to stay home, partially because of him rehabbing from an injury.

Bears have done well to get their interior oline revamped.

You think it's a product of the talent available or not wanting to set the price?

Seems like there's a lot of teams that don't car as much about the money...

Well yea because Twitter is down.
How will the Bengals know who is available to try to work out deals without it?!

Have an instant classic where the cats beat Rick, then Duke beats Auburn in double or triple overtime, then the Cats take it home against the despicable, hated dookies on Monday night.

Ahhhh, to dream...

Definitely be interesting! Gotta give Rick a tip of the hat, he's a helluva coach.

Back to the topic at hand, how this front office continues to fumble these extensions boggles the mind.

Dalman, Thuney, + 1 G I am forgetting. Their IOL is now studly. We could have done that, and we only needed 2, not 3.

There was talk on NFL network that he left 20M on the table, i guess because he likes the situation?

Does it though?

Seems like it's pretty straightforward.

Bengals - "We want to give you X amount over Y years!"
Player - "Great! How much guaranteed though?"
Bengals - "What does that matter? You'll be here for at least most of those years, so that's essentially guaranteed!"
Player - "...Yea, no."

Year 2 of their FQ and they realize the importance of building that line, unlike...
