Smith’s Agent: “Maybe Things Will Pick Up”

Um, yeah, Alvin, thanks loads for the update.
We are also working on a deal for rookie A. Smith. Hard to speak on a time table with these rookie deals. Hopefully its done sooner vs later

Position Preview: TE

Chase Coffman will get most of the attention at this spot even though it’s uncertain how soon he will be able to contribute in an actual game. Coffman has obvious receiving skills and was a steal in my opinion during the draft, but we all know the Bengals want their tight ends to be in-line [...]

The Ocho’s new toy…

Chad Ochocinco has found a new toy and is using it like a kid on Christmas. Of course that’s assuming the toy is a pair of scissors and the kid is running around the house with them. Not satisfied enough by Twitter alone, Johnson has added streaming video to his Twitter page via Ustream. It’s only [...]

PFT says Johnson’s deal is worth a bit less than $3.5 million, while Maualuga gets about $4.7 [...]

Coffman signs, Vick nixed, Ocho upbeat

Lots of news from Bengals.com today. Tight end Chase Coffman agreed to what is believed to be a four-year deal with the team. “Saint” Mike Brown said the team will not pursue Mike Vick (thank goodness) and Chad Ochocinco was upbeat and optimistic during a meeting at the team facilities. That’s 3-for-3 in my book. [...]

Position Preview: Running Backs

This should be an intriguing position for the Bengals this year as some uncertainty looms not only with the starter, Cedric “The Skipper” Benson, but also his backups. Benson will look to prove last year’s performance wasn’ t a fluke (747 yards behind an average offensive line and a run-well, pass-poorly QB that Ohio hasn’t seen [...]
