Around SBN: Ellenberger vs. Sanchez Heats Up, Hughes Talks Retirement

Chad Johnson to New York? Ravens linebackers, Arrington, and Oil Slick

A question was asked to James Walker on his blog if the Bengals had any chance at acquiring one of three Baltimore linebackers, Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs or Bart Scott; all three are up for free agency. Walker says, in the best possible way without being insulting, that the Bengals are too cheap, and teams with the ability to buy rosters have a better shot; sense of urgency, or something like that. Urgency? What's that. We agree with Walker's assessment, knowing that the Bengals would rather keep developing within.

Giants fans don't like the unsubstantiated rumor that New York is considering a run at Chad Johnson with Plaxico Burress' "distraction" and free agency looming for Amani Toomer.

The 49ers could use T.J. Houshmandzadeh, but the Seattle Seahawks have expressed unconfirmed interest.

J.J. Arrington?

DraftSharks.com writes that the Bengals are $22 million under the cap.

Leon Hall was one of the most consistent defenders, says defensive backs coach Kevin Coyle, and Johnathan Joseph expects to deliver in 2009... "Big-time".

Last off-season, I believed that all of Chad Johnson's acts, his verbal diatribes, were related to Drew Rosenhaus. Some believe that it's happening again, with Anquan Boldin this time.

The Bengals select Michael Oher in NFP's mock draft.

Couple things.

I like our linebackers pretty much as they are. I wouldn’t want to spend good money on either Scott or Suggs. Ray Ray, on the other hand, I would love to have in our locker room even if he never played another down. Given Lewis’ character, however, I highly doubt he’ll end up finishing his career anywhere but Baltimore. With Rex Ryan going, maybe but i doubt it. Having Lewis in the locker room to school Rivers, Brandon Johnson and whoever we may pick up in the draft would be incredible.

Could we just exchange Lococho for Boldin straight up? Boldin’s a straight up beast.

Arrington would be an improvement on special teams but I doubt he could provide much in the backfield.

Oher would be an excellent pick but I’m starting to get sold on the idea of defense in the first- Raji, Curry, Orakpo, etc., a stud guard- Duke Robinson, Herman Johnson, in the second, and a center in the third. (with Whit and Collins doing the tackle job).
