Bengals sign two Tight Ends

by Josh Kirkendall on Aug 17, 2009 3:58 PM EDT in Contracts

We can't lose Tight Ends quick enough. In fact, we're doing such a good job at watching our Tight Ends fall, that we're signing more, so we can watch them fall. Reggie Kelly is out for the year. No one really knows when Ben Utecht will return. Recently signed Matt Sherry will be out Thursday and Chase Coffman and Daniel Coats need "some rest as they come back from foot and ankle problems."

So the Bengals signed Kolo Kapanui and J.P. Foschi.

Kolo Kapanui was released by the Saints in May after being charged with obscenity, disturbing the peace and lewd conduct for allegedly being drunk, urinating in public and exposing himself. He was signed by New Orleans after spending last year on the Cleveland Browns practice squad.

Foschi was released by Oakland over the weekend. He saw action in seven games with Kansas City last year but did not catch a pass. He was also with the Raiders in 2005-06 and has 6 career receptions for 37 yards.

This is just a ridiculous signing

I sent Reedy’s blog post about these TEs to a friend of mine (Eagles fan) and he had this to say:

“Hahaha you could not have come up with something better for Kapanui if you wrote it yourself.”

It seems like every time the Bengals and Saints hookup (well, at least in the past few years) we pick up one of their players – David Jones, Dhani Jones…now Kapanui, to name a few.

maybe that’s a just a coincidence……nevermind.

3 yards and a pile of dust

Well aside from the fact that he can’t play man defense, can’t tackle, and hasn’t committed any crimes, he’d be the perfect fit!

Wow

So he got a little drunk and urinated in public?

Who hasn’t done that?

Plus he’s Kolo. Who doesn’t think we need more polynesians on the team?

I’d rather see us work with Coats and Coffman and wait until the 53 man cuts to actually pick up some real talent, but that’s me. I’m nutty.

Me either. But I know a lot of other people have. Stupid, yeah. Illegal, yup that too. But not worth turning him into a leper for the rest of his life.
