I never meant to suggest that the Bengals did not sign Stacy long term because of Willie.

That was my mistake.


What happend was the Bengals tagged Stacy becayuse they did not know if Willie was going to recover.  They did not wnat to sign Stacy Long term if Willie was going to recover, but they were also afraid to let Stacy walk if Willie was not going to be able to play in '08.

The Bengals released him on August 30th and the Ravens signed him 5 days later. He fielded calls from 6 different teams, then chose the Ravens. Signing with them after passing a physical. None of this makes it seem like Willie's health was a huge question mark at that moment.
