Willie Anderson's agent is awaiting a contract proposal from the Chargers. However, this blog says that the awesomest former Bengals right tackle will be visiting Tampa Bay Thursday.
Sorry mate, but if either Chad or Houshmandzadeh, the Bengals won't die. That's why the visionary Mike Brown signed Chris Henry. See, he knows what he's doing (that's dripping sarcasm, by the way).
Deltha O'Neal was shocked after being cut from the Bengals, but thrilled to be on the Patriots. I don't doubt it. Now he'll actually play to his talents that he's happy.
Colton Lynch, Corey's youngest brother, might be the best Lynch of all.

Was just coming here to say that, R.F.
I’ve got a short entry up giving the link to the Enquirer already…more to come over at BND.

...why didn't we trade Anderson
It is usually difficult to trade a veteran player like Anderson due to their high salary, but after seeing the deal Willie got, it appears that there was a reasonable market for him. The fact that the Bengals franchised a player like Andrews who has minimal experience and the Steeler’s transition tagged Max Starks at ~7mil, who isn’t even starting shows the demand for passable tackles. Yet we give away a recent all-pro letting him join a team that we play twice.

Because they wanted to save $10 million.. at least that's the first thing that came to mind.

If he was traded we would be rid of his salary right? We would have to pay who ever we got in return, but we could have traded for draft picks.
Also, as ESPN’s Walker pointed out, there will be a significant knowledge transfer between Anderson and Rex Ryan and Ray Lewis. Anderson is one of the most knowledgeable players in the NFL and Lewis is smarted enough to use that, even on short notice.

Uggh
It pains me to see a player as classy as Willie Anderson going to such a classless city and organization as the Baltimore Ravens. Like I said in a previous post, I think his play had slipped more than anyone was letting on. I hope I’m right – otherwise it will be Ray Rice behind Big Willie all day long.
