Your avatar fits you well.
Tell me how any of these players aren't worth the skins time?
We need another lineman and a Linebacker. The WR's are Marginal at best. I admit Jenkins is a reach but last year we signed both Larry Johnson and Parker when most thought we couldn't do it. (even if they didn't make the team in the end)

I just heard on the Doug Gottlieb show that Vinny said somewhere (on the radio I guess) yesterday that he offered two first rounders to the Bengals for Chad Ochocinco back in the day when Ocho was asking to be traded. Did anyone hear this? Is this true?

Yeah I know we talked about this a few months back. It's odd though because someone else very involved in the trade talks back then told me it was something like a 1st and 3rd that could be as high as a 1st for Chad and a conditional late pick...but it's Vinny so what can you really believe. Still...willing to give up up to two 1st round picks for Ocho...but won't move a 5th for Jamaal Charles.

I think people should remember that the salary floor was going to drive up the prices of free agents. Although we haven't overpaid for anyone the way Vinny used to.
they dont have to meet the floor till january, so it doesn't necessarily mean anything for the FA market. Teams can wait till december and spend up to the floor paying their own guys with new long term deals or accelerating bonus money or what have you. there's not urgent need to blow it all right now.

Yeah, I do remember that from back in the day. Thank god Mike Brown is Mike Brown, because if it had been any other team in the NFL they'dve taken it and ran, and we'd have no Orakpo and Trent Williams, or possibly our '08 first rounder and Orakpo. Not sure if the offer was before the 2008 draft or after.

Byron Westbrook re-signed, much to SmootSmack's glee.

Hell yeah it's true, I remember thinking how IDIOTIC the Bengals were for not taking that deal. I wouldve been PISSED if I was a Bengals fan....
