Boling struggled early on so the Bengals didn't do an extension with him entering his final season. He played great in 2014 and got a new deal after the season. I see them doing that with Bodine. He hasn't done much from a positive standpoint, but I'm guessing his new deal will be based on this season. If he steps up and becomes the center that we're constantly told he can become, then we'll bring him back. If he plays like he usually does, then I see us looking elsewhere in 2018.
this makes the most sense as they have TJ signed for 2 years... So if they don't get want they like out of Bodine they can draft a Center or trade for one or sign one next year and have TJ at least as a stop gap for practices till new guy is here and ready to go.
