Any former Bengals coming back?

[fredtoast]

Bengals love to bring back former players (Andre Smith, Pat Sims, Michael Johnson, Wallace Gilberry).

See any possibilities out there this year?

Boomer demanded a trade, went to his home area, ended up on the Cardinals, ran out the clock here.
Palmer demanded a trade, went to his home area, ended up on the Cardinals.......................????

Nah, I kid. I could see McCarron still being here if he doesn't end up in Bufffffalloooey or Nude England.

[*Go Cards*]

Think AJM will find a team if he is willing to except back up role and compete for the starting job.

Or sit out and await the first big QB injury to happen.

Would like to have him back though. But think he will hold it against Bengals for not trading him last offseason when he could have gotten a starting gig.

If he does come back expect it to be a 1 year deal per not wanting career to be held hostage. Certain he believes he can be a starter.

But a lifetime back up QB is a sweet gig too. Hope he finds his spot though, he is a great kid.

[*PhilHos*]

Is Jake Elliot available yet?

[Bilbo Saggins]

Leon Hall is a 9er. I was sure that he'd be back. 

[masterpanthera_t]

I've read that the Bengals were interested in bringing Reggie Nelson back.

With Hill gone... or expected to be gone..

What about Burkhead?

Yeah, I'm with you on this now.  McCarron getting a look as a backup in NE seems like a sweet enough gig for a year or so.  He could play the wait and see game and try to get a starter's contract with a team that flops in the draft, is Buffalo, or has a starter go down early (I'm looking at Sam Bradford behind that Cardinals o-line), but that's a risk.

Actually, Bradford doesn't even get hit when he gets injured anymore, he just plays a whole game of football and his knee is IR-worthy the next day.

Don't think Bulkhead is coming back... or staying with the Patriots, for that matter.

probly not but its a former Bengal in an area of some need.

Not sure who else out there fits that bill.   Don't think McCarron counts cause he would have to go to another team to be a guy we brought back (ie he has to leave first lol)

Pats lost Dion Lewis.  So I say there is a good chance the pats re-sign Rex.

Forgot about that.

Just surprised that they haven't signed him yet.

[Pat5775]

I hope not. I'm over bringing back former players who have clearly lost a step.

Are there really any that we want to bring back? We did a lot shaking up the coaching staff, lets keep that up and bring in new blood with the players as well.

This, time for new blood.

The only former Bengal i would welcome back would be Reggie Nelson.

Dude is smart and could help us even if he is falling off as a coach on the field. Shawn isn't the brightest bulb it seems.

[sandwedge]

Outside of Nelson possibly, I'm good with not bringing any back.

[*wildcats forever*]

Huber was one I thought would, and that happened. Eifert might be another, but not sure if a mutually agreed upon contract can be worked out. Then there is Andre Smith. Burkhead will likely hang in with New England, given the opportunity. The rest just seem to be past their prime, and not what we should think about.

How many of you knew that Frostee Rucker is a free agent this year?

He will only be 35 this season.

[fredtoast]

How about DT Clinton McDonald? He had 5 sacks for Tampa Bay last year. He also had 5.5 sacks for the Seahawks when they won the Super Bowl in '13.

He will be 31 this season, and only made $2 million for the Bucs last year.
