Drew Sample signs 1 Year Contract
#1
Not a bad move. Totally frees up the draft with Smith and Sample...but both only 1 year deals.

Why!? Deep draft at TE. Not too many runs on TEs happened in many drafts.

So they don't have to take two.

Yeah, they still can and have a great competition, but you don't want to HAVE to take 2 TE's in any Draft.

Good move in signing Drew to a 1 year deal, he is a good blocker. Just don't have him blocking a team's Edge is all.

Depth.

This tight end class isn't as good as was advertised

He’s a 2nd rounder with lots of potential




It's because you are of such profound wisdom, Frank Booth. - SunsetBengal

Interesting that this move came just a couple of days after Drew visited the Cardinals

Not upset at this. Knows the system and is decent depth for our Y TE. Irv Smith is a move TE so we needed another Y. He can at least block pretty well.
It's easy to see the world in black and white. Grey? I don't know what to do with grey.

Sample is fine to return. Hopefully his spot isn't guaranteed and if he makes the 53, he's one of the best 3 TE's on the team.

I hope they bring back Wilcox too and draft a couple TE's, I highly doubt Sample wins a spot if this happens. 

It is good to have the TE room not completely bare before the draft though.

Sweet. Now that they've got a blocking TE they won't have to reach for another one like Darnell Washington in the 1st.

I wonder where he is health wise. He was in a YouTube video not long ago and he seemed like he still had a pretty long road to travel. It had basically made me give up on the thought of putting him on our roster considering we only had 1 TE at the time. Idk maybe once he started working out the recovery really started to speed up.

I like Wilcox better than Sample. Not a bad move for the draft though. I am liking a CB or Tackle in that 28 spot now. I like the TE out of U of Cincinnati later.

This is a good signing. You should never go into a draft with a position that you must draft to even fill out the depth chart.

Yeah, I like Wilcox better myself.

I just did a Mock with us drafting Darnell Wright RT, Clark Phillips CB Utah and Josh Whyle TE... Wink

Agreed.  People will whine because Sample isn't an elite pass-catcher, but he is a solid blocker and you need one of those if you want Irv Smith to be more of a receiver.  This also frees up the Bengals to draft a Kinkaid-type TE as opposed to only taking a more complete TE like Maher.  

Welcome back, Drew.  Here's to you having your best season.

They will still draft a TE....maybe even two.  This doesn't prevent that at all.  

It does allow them to perhaps go with a more one-dimensional TE that is less of a blocker as Sample would be more of the in-line TE.  

It also makes a lot of sense to spend your draft picks on position groups that have premium second contracts:  OT, DE, CB, WR.  Tight ends aren't really breaking the bank on the second contract unless your name is Travis Kelce.
