PrintThe Bengals kicked off a lengthy -- and sometimes painful -- process signing their 2009 NFL draft picks to rookie contracts on Tuesday. Joe Reedy writes that Michigan Cornerback Morgan Trent agreed to a "four-year deal worth $1.85 million with a $112,000 signing bonus." Geoff Hobson writes that the deal could be signed as soon as Wednesday. Trent, a sixth round pick, was somewhat of a head scratcher, having heard that even Wolverine fans weren't impressed with the cornerback. We wondered later where he fits in the team's secondary.
Trent is one of seven cornerbacks that Bengals have heading into training camp. Johnathan Joseph and Leon Hall are the starters, while David Jones has the slight advantage for the nickel based on experience. Simeon Castille, Rico Murray and Geoffrey Pope fill out the team's roster of cornerbacks.
Alright. One down. Ten to go.

I just looked at the Madden 10 ratings. They have Trent down as a 82 speed. =O He must have lost a lot of speed since high school, when he beat Ginn(97 speed) in the 200 meter.
This and the Brandon Johnson 48 overall thing… someone at EA doesn’t like the Bengals, or doesn’t like to do their homework.
The Bengals ink a draft pick in June?
the mysterious offseason continues…..
3 yards and a pile of dust
What's with all the Madden rating talks?
It’s a video game. Albeit, it’s a good video game, but so what about the ratings? So what if he beat Ginn…in track…in 2004.
Anyone who knows anything about football knows there is a night and day difference between track speed and football speed. Coaches talk about that ALL of the time. All of the time.
One favor I ask of everyone…
Can we stop acting like Morgan Trent’s speed rating or Brandon Johnson’s “48” overall rating is (a) the end of the world, (b) relevant and © of any consequence whatsoever?
This just in…the Bengals were terrible last year. Morgan Trent also sucked — in college — and is now going to be a 4th string corner in the NFL — IF he even makes the team.
Maybe thats why the ratings suck for certain Bengal players. Not that it even matters.

I don't remember Trent
sucking in college. Maybe his last year but you can blame that on the coaching staff. Anyways I think its pretty cool the Bengals have two Michigan Corners.
i dont remember Trent either....
or anyone else from Michigan’s defense.Just happy they couldnt coax Terrel Pryor in going there or we wouldnt remember him either.
