Money still wouldn't be an be an issue to sign Earl even if he did He could get hurt and his value looking forward would plummet. It's a bit of a gamble, I would think.

J-ALL-DAY Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Honestly, I say we give the Bengals a call and see if there is a way we can get Green. That team is no man's land and we may be able to get him for a 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. We just gave an of ball linebacker coming off an acl tear the richest (temporarily) contract in NFL history for an off ball linebacker. He's going to get paid even if he tears an acl, especially from us. The only real risk would be a shazier type injury, and those are extremely rare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team is no man's land and we may be able to get him for a 2nd. I brought this up forever ago. It's interesting because I don't know what his value would be. I'm not sure it's that high, and Cincy may want more. Three only concern I would have is that his value to them is much more than his market value, so there wouldn't be a compromise range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason I would like to take the risk is even if we can't re-sign him, we should come away with a solid compensation pick. And if he re-signs? Great! This is a move they should look into. May be able to get him with a 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Minor note...I wonder who our punter is going to be. I know he's got a mouth on him, but Marquette King is out there. He's had some good years. I'm assuming that we re-sign Locke and grab a underrated free agent for competition. Maybe Jake Bailey. He handled kickoffs in college, and I think that is important for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW21 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 For those of you worried we would sign him. Not a lot of money for Bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, didn't really makes sense. Like I said a number of pages back, not a move I would have made anyway. I still don't understand the utter hatred for the move especially given his price tag, but I share the same sentiment as most on here regarding the RB position.

Surely that money couldn't be better used with a certain safety….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we moved on Dee Ford very quickly after the OBJ trade went through, hopefully we shift our focus to Earl now that Bell is off the market.

J-ALL-DAY Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 This goes back to what I said a few days ago, Shanny REALLY values pass protection and receiving from his backs. More than their actual running ability. Maybe we go after Ingram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
