Well, we got a top LB in Preston Brown and a good DT in Chris Baker too.
We just might have more than luck on our side this time around and actually might be making good decisions for once.
Waiting on Bodine and signing him for backup money would not be a bad decision although i would just like to move on.
Draft a Center in the 1st or 2nd. Heck, Hobspin is talking about Center at 21 right now. Never heard this before.

Oh C'mon. Hobson is the very embodiment of truth, justice and the American way. Just slap a cape on him and he'd be the most fantastic crime fighter the world has ever known .CHICKENNN MANNNN! (he's everywhere, he's everywhere!)
Hobson is otherwise known as Benton Harbor available on weekends to fight crime in Midland City.

You may be right. I've just been disillusioned by so many past bad decisions.

We all have, but something seems to be going on for the better this is for sure.

Bodine getting no looks in the free agent open market tells me all I need to know about his value. Every day that ticks by swings more leverage to the team. Pretty soon we'll be able to re-sign him at the vet minimum. That's prolly what theyre waiting for.

True and i wouldn't dislike it either. Pollack would have to see something more in him than TJ Johnson.
He could be better but the sad part is i honestly don't know that he is.

At least vet minimum wouldn't guarantee him a starting spot. But it wouldn't break my heart at all if they just quietly let him go on his way with a good luck and hearty handshake.

What a lousy choice.  They have to do something to get better!!! It will likely have to be via the draft at this point.

Which is just fine with me. They're in a great place to get one at 21.

Well, looks like our favorite Bengals writer is claiming Bodine won’t be back now.

Seems like they spent the Bodine money on Barkley.
If so, does that make Barkley a hero? He's already saved the season from Bodine.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Russell Bodine is visiting in Buffalo. Let’s hope the Bills sign him. Then the Bengals can go for Billy Price in the draft.

When Marvin gave his speech, reiterating how valuable to the team that Bodine was, I never thought this day would come.
That was one heck of a smoke screen that 'ole Marv put on us.

Smoke screens are more journalist jargon than anything
