But realistically, who the hell are we to demand more? We've seen more out of the Bengals ordinary moves this offseason, than we have in 30 years. They've made a significant financial investment in Glenn, Brown, Geno, and Carlos. Made concessions to recover some of that by cutting Adam Jones, Brandon Lafell, and George Iloka. The only place I see left to gain some cash, without a lot of dead money, would be to part ways with Michael Johnson. Is the team ready to do that? I know that plenty of fans on this board think he's still an asset to the team. (I think his time has passed)
Think Sunset is correct as usual, they will wait till cutdown day and maybe sign a reliable vet that gets cut for
financial reasons. MJ sure hasn't shown much at all and is clearly our worst End that is getting paid a lot of
dough for being our worst End. Almost expecting him to get cut next as Sunset says, they sure have done a
great job this Offseason. Almost starting to expect them to do the right thing for once which is crazy.
Sounds like Westerman is in the doghouse and cannot play RG so expecting a Guard if we do pick an O-line
guy up and roll with Hart at RT. Hope he slowly improves under Pollack. He looked much better against the
Bills than he did the Cowboys that is for sure.
