Mettenberger released by steelers

[*SHRacerX*]

Would he be a better insurance policy to trading AJM than Driscoll?

I think the Bengals liked him...

I am all for this. 

Rumor is the Jets have been in contact for McCarron, originally offering S Richardson.  New rumor after the draft is that they are dangling Calvin Pryor.  Give me Pryor and a 3rd or 4th any day.

If he wasn't better than Landry Jones he isn't worth our time. Simply put, the guy was a shitty locker room guy and not that good. I'lll pass.

I actually think that Driskel has a ton of potential and would rather keep him than go with Mettenberger, who seems like a primadonna and malcontent.

I don't see how Calvin Pryor fits the Bengals. He's a strong player, but I think they (the Bengals) like their safeties, who are all young and developing, and already have money tied up there. I don't see them tying up any more. Not the way they value and pay safeties, anyway.

Sheldon Richardson, however, I would be alllll for. I think he would make an instant upgrade at DT.

I'd take Sheldon Richardson over Marcus Hardison, DeShawn Williams, Brandon Thompson, and Wallace Gilberry.

You'd also be paying him more than all of them combined, for one year, before he got his next contract.

Would be worth it. And if you could get him to redo for a 2 or 3 year deal, that would be a great line for at least a couple years.

I meant it would be a cap issue more so this year, but not impossible. Do we really want another character red flag haha. I mean I am okay with going full bad boy Bengals but I'm not sure this place can handle it.

This dude has much more baggage than Mixon. Driving drunk (DUI) at 100 MPH with a kid in the car was not a spontaneous heinous act, it was just plain stupid and he is lucky he did not kill the kid or anyone else.
