T.O. signs with Bengals

[C.Biscuit97]

If this was 2005, this would be awesome. TO is on his last legs and will have to accept being a #3, 85 is getting older and just wants to be famous, and Carson Palmer is a shell of himself.

 

That said, the Bengals have a good defense so they might hang around.

[stevewin]

Add me to the list of those who wish him the best - I hope he does well

[seadog]

Perfect situation for T.O.. Cinci's window of opportunitiy is open. They will be a great combo, Palmer must be licking his chops. AFC north will be good to watch. Cinci lit it up when they TJ Houshwenzata. I think TO will have similiar success. Carson Palmer is way better than anybody one of our QB's. Good for TO.

[apuszczalowski]

They can't afford to change them, they had them rekeyed.

They can't afford that either, they just publically told everyone they did hoping he wouldn't try his key anywhere

[CodeMonkey]

2 + 2 in possible incentives. And we paid him what, 6.5 last year.

Cinci is getting a pretty good deal and it should be a much better environment for TO. Seems like a good fit for both sides.

[HurlyBurly51]

Beats playing for the Rams.

This makes our quick signing of him last year for $6.5 million seem all the more foolish. He had no other offers or interested teams.

That's a good deal. They have a lot of weapons - no way he hits all the incentives.

 

How many bums on our team make more than $2 million?

Yep....and Sam Bradford is breathing a sigh of relief!!

Part of the reason he has had trouble this year is because of his decreased production with the Bills. It's unlikely he would have received that amount elsewhere than Buffalo though.

[CowgirlsFan]

This should be fun.

 

 

Yep...guess the food markets in Canton better order more popcorn for their HOF game this year!!

Cowboys vs Bengals on Sunday August 8th!!!!

[CowgirlsFan]

If that is true, what a sideshow that town will be this year. Talk about drama, TO & Ocho-stinko!

 

 

Or new ''drama''....ocho uno AND ocho stinko

[jhood716]

i definitely was hoping that we resigned him at the end of last season. i think his decreased production was both his fault and the qbs. but it never really seemed to me that he was happy in buffalo and i remeber thinking in the tennesee game that he was about to lose it. 2 million is so cheap really wish we would have resigned him

 

definitely cant wait to see wht happens when we play cinci

 

before to was a bill i used to love seeing him all upset when things didnt go his way. on our monday night meltdown against dallas rite before they recovered the onside kick and hit the winning field goal when they went for 2 and romo tried to hit to in the end zone mcgee broke up the play and to looked like he was gonna cry i got a real kick out of that i always thot he was such a jackass and i think alot of us football fans did

but then when we signed him all of a sudden i found my self liking the guy. it will definitely make the buff cinci game interesting wonder who buff will put on him

 

i do miss to but we have some good up and coming receivers in my opinion and i am interested to see how they do guess he never really was a good fit for us

 

all things considered i do wish to the best except for when we play the bengals to probably doesnt give a damn what any of us in buffalo think anyways.

 

and if he scores a td or puts up big numbers against us i definitely see him going all out with the celebration probably even gettin flagged for it. letn some of that frustration and bitterness towards us that all of us know he has built up in him

[FluffHead]

I'll be interested to see if T.O. plays any harder for the Bengals.

 

PTR

 

 

He'll play harder because the QB is Carson Palmer. He half asses routes here because he had no faith that 1. the line would hold up and 2. our QB would pull the trigger. Hell, he played harder when Ryan Fitzpatrick was the QB because he knew he would actually try and throw it in there

he definitely did remeber that jacksonville game when fitzpatrick set the franchise td record for longest td hitting owens with the bomb from our own end zone after he audibled that was such a beautiful play

 

people constantly **** on fitz but last year i felt way more comfortable when fitz was in instead of edwards. he was never scared to stand in the pocket take off if he had to and throw down field

 

i think to had 9 receptions that game and a 100 somethin yards great game but we lost

 

then on thanksgiving interview when they asked him what he had to b thankful for he said ryan fitzpatrick

[eball]

TO was a model citizen in Buffalo last year and played hard. There's no reason for Bills' fans to hate.

 

That said -- it will be fun watching TO and Ocho take turns dropping footballs.

Yeah, sure. Despite his (relatively) poor season last year, he had 5 suitors (as per Rosenhaus, the Bengals, Hawks, Jets, Rams, and Raiders) this past off-season. Not that the amount he was paid means anything, because again, Evans got paid more for less.

 

And I don't see why anyone thinks this is a bad move for the Bengals. He proved in Buffalo, as well as everywhere else, that he's a model citizen his first year. And he'll be with his bud CO.

His agent was very vocal about all his suitors this year. Who were the other teams last year that were so interested that the Bills coughed up $6.5 mil?

 

Evans was under contract well before TO was signed. No point there.

The Bills jumped on TO as soon as he was cut and gave him a good offer, but still well below what guys like Housh and Coles got. He never left Buffalo to find out what other offers there were. And mentioning Evans' salary has as much of a point as you continually mentioning what the Bills paid TO.

No. The Bills couldn't "unpay" Evans, or pay him less than they agreed to. They could have paid TO a lot less. Can't break it down any more than that.
