It took me a day to respond to this as I needed some time to cool off.  Not really, but I was working.

I was pretty mad when I heard this.  Rex will likely get 50 receptions there, maybe have 1000 all-purpose yards, and be a special teams demon.  Here?  Well, he got one start and we watched Hill suck ass for another season...while we hoped and prayed that somehow he would return to the form of his rookie season. 

I just don't get it.  Rex could run, catch, pick up blitzers, and contribute in special teams...we couldn't see the value in that guy?  

A first class, team-first guy likely to be replaced by some punk who broke four bones in a woman's face.  

Now that Pryor signed a horrible deal with the Redskins, and Burkhead is gone, I can see the Bengals drafting a WR and RB pretty early in the draft.
