The thing is, Rex might rather go somewhere else rather than be a 2b RB and ST'er.

He might get a better shot somewhere else if this is the case. Personally i would tell Rex he is our #1 right now and re-sign him.

I could be wrong but my guess is he won't get a better offer than here.

Limited playing time and small sample size stats could be the very thing that works in the Bengals favor.

Rex might be more like a future version of Cedric Peerman in terms of job safety.

So the best thing for the team would do is to throw some up front money and sign him to a deal that way.

The hand they should play is "the known with a bonus and security... with perhaps a window of opportunity " opposed to the "unknown with opportunity" deal that could crash & burn.

It really comes down to what Rex's decision style sways to.

Does he risk going for it?

I'd hope that our team at least values him for a viable replacement for Ced P.
