Benson, Crocker, Graham, Housh, Johnson.

….just kidding!

My five aren’t too different than the others: Housh, Benson, Crocker, Graham, Brandon Johnson.

Some alternates if any of those don’t pan out would be:

Andrews – I agree with CincyMike that we could sign him to a cheap deal, due to his injury. Plus, I’m not entirely convinced that his departure would be addition by subtraction. After all, if he signs cheap, it would be great depth to the O-line.

Holt – I think he brings some excitement to special teams that we need. Last season he gave us great field position for the offense and could do the same in 2009. If he works on his ball security issues, I think he could be a cheap signing that would be an asset to the team.

Now that his contract is over, and his cap hit would be much friendlier if the Bengals re-signed him to a 1-2 years deal, do you sign him?

Brandon Johnson
Darryl Blackstock
Chris Crocker
Cedric Benson
Eric Ghiaciuc*

• assuming we make the glaringly obvious move and draft a center- Mack, Unger, Luigs, Caldwell, the kid from Louisville who’s name I forget- we’ll still need Ghiaciuc as a transition and, hopefully, as a backup. Pardon my French but fuck Shane Graham. Kickers are a dime a dozen and, if we can’t stick the ball in the end zone regularly enough to win, we’ve got bigger problems anyway.

Franchise TJ for this year- hope that doesn’t count as one of my five. I’d rather stick with Jordan Palmer as back-up. I think the arm is genetic- if not the accuracy. Dorsey has become a Chris Perry on a lesser scale- flashes of greatness followed by one injury after another. I’d trade Andrews if we could get anything for him. Otherwise, let him go for whatever compensatory pick we might get(hell, the same goes for Chad). Thornton would be alright at a discount for his locker room calm. I would like to keep Jeanty, so maybe I would switch his name for Blackstock’s on my list. Fletcher, I had mixed up with Quentin Jammer when we picked him up. Reality set in. Bye-bye to him and Busing. Holt fumbles and Caldwell has probably already supplanted him anyway.

How about not a single one? We have not won with them so why resign them? How about we try to sign one of those Raven linebackers and some players from good nfl teams???? But if I had to only choose one it would be crocker. That guy plays with a fire in his ass.

if they need someone to show them the door I’ll be more then happy to do it
