Happy they signed him. They should still strongly consider drafting one of the top TE's on day 2 of the draft.
Very good move that will fly under the radar. Now take a day 2 TE (McBride or Ruckert) to pair him with and we're set.
It still says "intends". Lets not forget Barr. But if it happens I think we can safely say this is going to be a defense heavy draft.
I believe this was a prediction I made in the bold predictions thread. Should not stop us from drafting one as the group is still weak.
Wonder how long until Brad bitches about this one too? Taking bets in the gambling thread … Terrific move with big play capability. Remember watching him scamper for multiple big plays this year. Now go get McBride!!!
I personally can't wait for someone to try to compare this signing to the Jags giving Engram 1year/$9 mil guaranteed.
Guys, we just paid 8 million a year for a TE. I really don't think were going TE in the 2nd round anymore. I expect JD to bring in a big body one either side of the line. He's getting back to his pre-GM roots.
Tight and and right guard might mot be the flashiest positions but we just got badly needed help at two of our biggest problem areas.
Super happy about this move. He is a very good player, not a Kelce / Kittle but I think he's just below them. Past GM's would have signed Evan Engram instead.
And those are individual fan reactions to Schefter's tweet. If you look at Bengals twitter, you can see that it's not just individual fans that liked the guy, the entire fanbase loved him AND believes that he's a factor in them making the jump they did this year. https://twitter.com/CollinsworthPFF/status/1503516133483294722
I love it. Entire Bengals nation is wishing him good luck and shedding tears behind him. Apparently a huge locker room presence. I love this signing more and more every passing hour.
Nice signing... solid TE with good character. It will be refreshing to see the position played as it should be...
