It saves Bodine's salary, and the savings the Bengals have by not paying a QB much (think he is the 19th-highest paid) should be applied here to help both protect Dalton and open up the running game.
The last time the opportunity came for a top-tier FA center was Mack. I begged and pleaded. The Bengals didn't sign him. The Falcons did. One team took the next step, the other took steps back.
Here we go again. Jensen should be a Bengal. He is young, he is one of the best, and he would weaken a division opponent. Yet, we will probably see Bodine's awful ass in the starting lineup next season again. Puke.
I doubt the Ravens don't re-sign Jensen, but if we could grab him from them i would be all for it.
He played well last year, better than any of the other FA Centers that will be available. But it was only one year of production.
I still think the best way to go is to draft a Center like Ragnow, Price or Daniels in the 2nd round or trade back in the first and grab one.
These guys all have a higher upside than Jensen IMHO.
