We are in desperate need of a another interior pass rusher. I don't think there's another player on the roster who can reliably play effective snaps alongside Geno in the nickel. That's a ton of of potentially ineffective snaps at arguably any teams most important unit. If we can't rush the passer we're going to be in for a bad time.

THE DUKE Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I think the Bengals are interested in Gerald McCoy the same way I was interested in dating Heidi Klum as a teenager. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 McCoy sounds like a great idea in theory. I'm not concerned about the dollars, but i'm curious what length he's looking for. Because at 31 years old, he probably only has another 2 years at most of real effective play. Then it fades fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 In a true offseason free agency time, probably, but I imagine that he will not get a big contract since most of those are early in fa or for extensions of your own. I am guessing he will settle for one year, then be a true free agent next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I'd give him something like a 1 year 6 mil. IMO we need help at LB more than at DT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 PFT had a piece saying 10 teams had contacted McCoy with one offering 11 mil. I'm confident the Bengals aren't the high bidder. It seems odd for there to be so much interest in McCoy. I think Suh is a better player and he got 9 mil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Character and getting along with others play a huge role just like in any other job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCoy's agent is doing a good job is what that mainly is. There's probably about 3-4 teams with legitimate interest. Meaning 3-4 teams willing to pay in the $8M-$10M+ range he's looking for, and 5-6 other teams (like the Bengals) who are interested if he's willing to come down to $6M/year...
