    Cincy would be wise to keep them happy, but this likely ends with trades tomorrow night or Day2

    I don't think so. People requesting trades from the Bengals used to be an almost yearly occurrence and Mike Brown always tells them that they signed the contract and now they will play under it until it is over. Renegotiating contracts before they are over is something that he doesn't do. That's why I was surprised when they extended Burrow before they absolutely had to. Remember, Carson Palmer asked for trades for two straight years before he finally took the step of actually holding out. It still took them almost an entire season to finally back down and move him. In the case of Mike Bown, it is partially a belief in strict adherence to the salary cap system that the small market clubs fought for but mostly a lack of liquidity.

  2. I've been telling you guys for a long time that even though Burrow and Zac Taylor have been trying to build a culture in Cincinnati, Mike Brown is still the owner. They pay cash to the cap, so no one except Burrow and Chase are going to get paid.

     

    That being said, they will tell Hendrickson and Higgins to pound sand and make them play out the year. You can bank on that, so for at least one more year the Bengals are serious contenders.

    It's not true. It was 2003, you are right about that, but it is a common misconception that it was Sehorn. It was someone who played for either the Benglas or the Browns. Forget which. 

    Now you got me looking. I just looked at the Browns and Bengals 2003 rosters and they had no white CBs that started a game while Sehorn started 3 games for the Rams in 2003. I'm an academic librarian by trade and I am treating this like a reference question from a grad student. I will find this information.

    I have to prep for a colonoscopy on Friday morning - can't eat anything and will be spending quality time in the bathroom #worstdraftwatchpartyever

     

    Don't get old, kids - it sucks....

    In my experience, the worst part is the laxative that you have to take the night before the prep day. Also, drink lots of chicken broth; it feels like real food.

    Did Worthy steal your parking spot lol, you don’t think it’s odd that the player is universally considered a highly valued prospect by pretty much every scouting department in the NFL as you yell and stomp your feet telling everyone he’s gonna fail.

    This is what obsessed fans do at draft time; they "scout" and "grade" college prospects, form strong and unmovable opinions and then throw temper tantrums that would put a 3-year-old to shame when the team has a different draft board than they do.

    Oh yeah, my comment wasn't at all directed like at you personally, I get its because they are showing interest in him, others think he is possibility there.  My post was 100% really about how stupid the Dolphins front office would be if they do it.

    I think that they are going to do it, if Mike McDaniel gets his way. There were reports that the Fins staff all went to Austin to look at Sweat on Texas' pro day, but that McDaniel spent all day drooling over Worthy.

    I'm starting to want this dude in Round 1 just because of the divisive discourse that will ensue

    Unless the Bills trade up for MHJ or Nabers, half of this board will hate the pick and instantly declare that they are no longer fans of the team. And even if they do trade up, some on here will be mad that they gave up too much. It really doesn't matter who it is, at least 50% of TBDers will think that they could have done a better job than Beane.

    I would hate this trade.  2 1sts and 2 2nds for one non-QB?  No thank you.

    Not only that, but the Vikings can offer two first THIS YEAR to go up and get a QB so our offer wouldn't be enough. This is a no on both sides.

  9. This reminds me of that former Syracuse player Matt Tomaszweski who tried to play Brian Scalabrine in one on one. This guy played in the Big East, but only could manage one point against the very definition of an NBA journeyman. To paraphrase scal, Nathan Peterman is closer to Mahomes than you are to him.
