I...I really don't see much risk to signing TO. I've never been a fan of his diva antics. But, I know this, he broke his leg and was playing in the Super Bowl 5 weeks later. He has never had any legal trouble. He played for a terrible Bills team last year and never made a peep. I think, for one year, this is a good deal. If they find he is too much of a diva or has lost a few steps and just does not produce, they can cut him and play the young guys. But, if I am thinking about Caldwell, Shipley, SIMPSON, or Owens as our #2...I'll take Owens every time.redleg2420https://www.blogger.com/profile/14275740567387541015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8050692851735806688.post-90154425611867343432010-07-27T08:55:46.364-04:002010-07-27T08:55:46.364-04:00I'm OK with the T.O. signing as long as we can...I'm OK with the T.O. signing as long as we can get him for a reasonable price. I've heard that he's asking for $5m, a little high which is part of the reason the Rams backed out. If we could get him to $2M or $3M tops, that would alright by me. <br /><br />However, this raises the issue of why the Bengals are even considering him. The only two reasons I can think are that Bryant isn't what they thought he was (based on injury or ability) or that they really want to win now. Since the latter reason has never existed under Mike Brown, we have to think it has something to do with Bryant. <br /><br />The biggest risk I can see is failing to develop the younger WR's. We have a fairly long list of younger guys (Caldwell, Cosby, Shipley, Briscoe, Purify) that we need to develop sooner than later with Chad aging. TO would be a 1 year deal and Bryant may not have many years left in him given his injury history. <br /><br />Is this risk worth signing TO? Only if he's just insurance for Bryant and comes at a reasonable price.Wojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071575151337610430noreply@blogger.com
