If he’s scared of getting hurt maybe he takes a little bit less for long term security. Agreed. Bates isn't going anywhere for 2022. With Allen retiring, the team will draft a safety at some point. 5 hours ago, INbengalfan said: vs. the tag? Not really. It means one mid line player (3-4 mill) leaves and replaced by a draft pick. Remember when people were saying Apple deserved CB2 money? He doesn't. he ends up in the 3-4 mill per year group. If he thinks he can get more, let him hit the market. Personally I want them to grab Donte Jackson in a move similar to grabbing Awuzie last year (good zone player coming off an injury, dropping his price some) and still slide in Apple and Flowers. CB set. Keep Bates. Sign Hill, Uzomah and Spain. Extend Jonah now, but the new contract money kicks in next year. Grab two OL, see if you still have money for Ogunjobi or a similar type 3t. Maybe kick the tires on another TE (Njoku/OJ HOward) for a one year prove it deal around $5 mill (with Joe feeding them the ball). Head to the draft with most holes filled and grab BPA with an eye on long term linemen. If Zion Johnson or Kenyon Greene slide to 31, grab them as plug and play. Hope Kinnard lasts to the next round. Fix the O-line first. I wouldn't re-sign Spain or Uzomah ahead of free agency. Maybe Hill if he's not demanding a lot but interior pass rushers get paid. We're thin at CB with only Awuzie and Hilton under contract at the moment (assuming Waynes is released). We're thin at a few positions like CB and WR but can add depth in the draft. This is a good draft for TEs but let's see if Gronk is serious about wanting to play with Burrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ochocinco4pres Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Even if Gronk was serious, I do not foresee the Bengals going for him honestly. Even on a 1 year deal, I dont see them shelling out a 1 year deal with that kind of cash for Gronk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 Unless Gronk is coming on a 1 year vet minimum deal for the lulz, I seriously doubt we throw money his way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Gronk has taken way below market value money the last several years. He played for 8 mil while we paid Uzomah 6 but is much better. He could easily get Hunter Henry 12 mil per year but he isn't about the money. Gronk would be a great addition at a very reasonable price.

THE DUKE Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 I'm curious if we get Hill back a little cheaper than we think, there are a LOT of DT's in FA this year that are intriguing. Same with Ogunjobi really, especially coming off an injury. 2022 NFL Free Agents Tracker | Spotrac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also not opposed to looking at an upgrade there, but more likely to get an early draft guy. I still think of Atkins as a maybe if his health is right. It's unlikely, I am aware, but young healthy Geno was the template for the type of person and player we've tried to have here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 That DT free agency tracker shows Ogunjobi's 7 sacks as the most of any DT entering free agency. Hill's 6 sacks are tied with Suh for 2nd most. They'll both get good offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pf9 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) The return of Burrow and Chase to Louisiana should be in primetime. I want people across the US to see signs welcoming these players back to the state where they led LSU to a national title in 2019. If this game is on NBC, I wouldn't be surprised if the Saints use this opportunity to retire Drew Brees' #9 at halftime, since it is very likely he will be SNF's color commentator in 2022.

pf9 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I'm surprised the return of Burrow and Chase to Louisiana was placed at 1 PM. At the very least it should have been 4:25 if not SNF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 The league seems to feel it's not a story of national interest but merely local interest in New Orleans and Cincinnati. I think NO will clearly be at least second in their division this year but most handicappers don't expect much from Jameis Winston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Bates has said he won't sign the franchise tender and won't play this year without a long term deal. I doubt he would sit out the year and it doesn't look like the team will give him a deal he wants since they used the first round pick on his replacement.
