Teven Jenkins still available and we're interested and been days and nothing. Could have signed Ojulari for pass rush and didnt do nothing. Plenty of others as well and we just sit around and not do a damn thing !!!!
Good examples that would of made all of us really feel like they were showing some urgency. Not doing a damn thing at Guard or for the
pass rush is really frustrating, but it isn't over yet that is for sure. We don't know if Golden sees something in Stone either, but I would of
rather had Justin Reid even if I don't like the guy, he is a much better player.
Uche or Ojulari would of been great. I know we talked to Ojulari and Teven Jenkins, but talk is cheap.

So when little or nothing happens it won't be the Bengals FO fault as their offers will be just huge and it will be the players fault.They want thos echoed.
Meanwhile. we know that they're asking for the moon for Trey in a trade and they knew this all along.While not a bad strategy, I hope if/when he's retained by the Bengals that they do rip up his current contract and give him a 2-3 year deal for a bunch more money but they won't be lonked to him for long-term in case his skills do erode in a year or two.
You think everyone is going to blame the players because Duke sent that message?
I don't, especially Ja'Marr, they were the ones who could of gotten a much cheaper deal done for him before last season and screwed
it up. He turned around and made them pay by winning the triple crown for a WR, he deserves 41+ mil per year now that they said he
would be paid the most for a non-QB.
Think they handled the Trey situation and the Tee situation right. Trey wanting 35+ mil like he is an all around End and Tee wanting 30
mil per year like he is a true #1 is on them honestly, but this is my opinion. Lots of fans would have them just pay them and would still
blame the FO for not getting it done like they said they would.
