SmittyBacall Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Did we get duped into thinking they’d spend? Or was this expected for day 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everything I read was that we’d be active in the 2nd round of FA spending. Was still hoping we’d get 1 big FA. Guess I was just dreaming. Instead of a pick, now that Thuney is tagged, I’d be all for a Dalton for Thuney trade straight up. I’m hoping Brady goes anywhere else other than NE.

There haven't even been reports of us being runners up to good players who have signed elsewhere. Back in the day a Warren Sapp would visit to use our offer to up the bid from the team he actually wanted to sign with. With travel limited this year, I guess there's no need for pretense.

Johnny Nix Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Guys it’s day 1. Chill. We knew we weren’t getting a big player. In their eyes AJ was their big player. And he kind of is. I think after the Dalton trade happens we sign some guys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were never going to sign anyone day one. Anyone who insinuated that did dupe you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Ok, but what are their plans to upgrade the O-line before drafting Burrow? Broken down Bulaga? Whoever another team cuts when they sign a good player? They could have signed Conklin for less than Hart+Glenn made. But they didn't even try. Burrow would be entirely justified in pulling an Eli. Bengals better make a trade for a good O-lineman for the right side. Edited March 17, 2020 by sparky151 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drink the Kool Aid every year. It's just too good going down. I'll do it again for the draft and i'll do it again next free agency. I'm ok with this cycle of abuse, better to hope than be the cynic. It's not like Mike Brown has been getting any of my money anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyBacall Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 It’s tough seeing the team go 2-14 and not make any effort to get better (so far). Hopefully we see some action today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INbengalfan Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Brady announced he isn't returning to the Pats. I wonder if this accelerates the Dalton trade as we might have two interested parties, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with their 3rd (87 overall), but Chicago doesn't have a 3rd, so if it comes down to bidding it'd have to be something like Chicago's 2nd and a 5th for Dalton and our 4th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be extremely surprised if we can get a 2nd off Chicago. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see our FO overplay their hand and come away with nothing. We need some good news coming our way soon. This is getting bleak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
