Don’t be silly. We have Spain and XSF!

New #Chiefs guard Joe Thuney’s five-year, $80 million contract includes $32.5M fully guaranteed at signing over the first two years, plus an injury guarantee that converts to full in 2022, per source. That brings the practical guarantee at signing to a whipping $48 million. ??

**** this team... seriously.. **** them. Two big time upgrades at a position of need and you watch them both sign elsewhere....

Don't get me wrong, I wanna be upset but the guy got 16 mil a year from the likely super bowl favorites, how much more would we have had to offer to pull him away from that?

I can't imagine a realistic offer we could have made that would have made him choose us over that situation.

I’m not upset with the team, I’m just terrified about our options now.

Dont you forget we brought Redmond back as well..


Where the hell is jason shirley when you need the guy.

I'm honestly done caring, I'm used to the mediocre front office. Honestly my love for this team has slowly gone away

Or Dennis Roland.

Watch Sewell be gone when we pick now, we’ll trade back with our eye on Darrisaw, and he’ll go literally the pick before us...

This will upset most, I know I am pissed but not surprised...

Final #ThuneyWatch tweet.

I just spoke to his sister. They wanted to be #Bengals.

I wasn’t really wrong about it lol.

We lowballed him. pic.twitter.com/uzihIs5lOp

5 years 80 mil? And that's for a team that has been to a SB two years in a row. Nothing we could have done about that.

[Luvnit2]

I am very confused. I thought this was a BENGALS FA Signing thread

All but original post need to be deleted or moved to FA forum

I want the thread clean when we sign guys

Not saying dude is full of crap, but not sure I’m buying a random tweet from a dude acting like a random tweet is his sister and his sister is also basically his agent lol.

Kind of a moot point.  There's no way he was turning down $16 mil a year from KC.

That's the problem with Free Agency.
The Bengals, in their current state, are not a destination.
To draw really good players, they have to be contenders and/or pay great (guaranteed) money.
The Bengals are not contenders and don't typically pay as much guaranteed as some clubs do.

It’s still ridiculous that they lowballed him. They’re not taking the health of their franchise QB seriously.
