Long time reader who rarely posts, but I just copied and pasted below from something I just read online. According to this, Howard may not be "off the table" despite the Asiasi signing....
"According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport during a television appearance, the Bengals still want to add Howard. That came after Bengals head coach Zac Taylor told reporters on scene that there were no more planned transactions for the day, per Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic.
Meaning, Howard could still sign tomorrow. He’s in the building and doing the routine things like taking a physical. The addition of Asiasi does make it more complex though, as adding a fourth tight end might mean losing a player at another position. That, or they have plans to throw one of, if not both Drew Sample and Mitchell Wilcox on injured reserve.
Either way, the latest update says the Bengals and Howard could still come to an agreement as early as Thursday."
Take it for what it's worth, but interesting if true.
