For a guy that can hang with the likes of Antonio Brown and is an explosive returner I'd say that it's a good price from the team's perspective. The injury history, off field stuff, and age were probably enough to scare off the teams that were considering dropping a ton of dough in FA. Seems fair to me.

Thank you, Adam Jones, for being loyal to the team that gave you a reset on your career. Bengal fans everywhere are grateful.

Also, it was smart to let MLJ and Sanu walk, considering their price. Man, I am so with you here, but I highly doubt we do it. I wanted to sign a vet WR so much in 2011 (2012?) to let Jones and Sanu grow, but we never did. To be fair I wanted Braylon Edwards, but it isn't exactly about who. I feel this will be another Hobson year of, "Mario Alford looks like Wes Welker in the slot and James Wright might even be better than AJ!" We will see how it works. Love what's happening in the secondary so far. ![[Image: what%2Bday%2Bis%2Bit.jpg]](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZACacPMmxvc/VFEq4P8ZHsI/AAAAAAAAf7w/2h-gUBOE72I/s1600/what%2Bday%2Bis%2Bit.jpg)

I'm not scared either way, I think Williams will be able to step up and become a good starter. Not saying that we will not have a drop off but I think we made the right choice bringing back the younger option. I hope we see Nelson resign a reasonable contract for 1-3 years still though, I love him as a player. (03-09-2016, 09:53 PM)Bengal Dude Wrote: Agreed about Reggie. Reggie is our biggest FA still out there. I'm sure they're still seeing if they can bring him back. Yep.....I'm actually kinda optimistic it gets done. Having three capable Safeties will be nice....with Nelson as a mentor to boot. "Better send those refunds..."

To be fair I wanted Braylon Edwards, but it isn't exactly about who. I feel the same. The Bengals have generally avoided vet WRs since Bryant/TO back in 2010. That said, they have supposedly expressed interest in Andre Holmes, so hopefully that trend changes. Rookie WRs often struggle. Especially the ones you find in the later rounds.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

He's a top 10 cover corner who studies film, helps prepare the other players, leads on the field, yes, we gotta steal. His bad boy image and age helped scare off a few teams, I presume

He's not flashy, but most definitely capable, and at the least serviceable. He had his best season, as the second option for a rookie QB, then with the Raiders drafting Amari Cooper and bringing in Michael Crabtree this past year, Holmes sort of got kicked to hind teet. Seems like a perfect type of player to put with a veteran QB like Andy Dalton. Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations -Frank Booth 1/9/23

It seems they offered him a two year deal....he balked....they didn't counter...that doesn't say to me done...it says " if you can beat this...take it". If he doesn't garner outside interest, I would be willing to venture talks resume. "Better send those refunds..."

I think Shawn Williams needs to start so we know what we have with him. |
