Bengals Interested In Center Casey Rabach
According to Ken Weinman from Baltimore 105.7 The Fan, Center Casey Rabach (not that Casey Ryback) is deciding whether to sign with the Cincinnati Bengals or Baltimore Ravens.
Sources close to vinny and kenny show tell us C casey rabach to decide between ravens and bengals in next 24hrs
When Rabach isn't cooking dinner aboard the USS Missouri for Captain Adams, saving a stripper from mortal doom, Rabach is a starting center in the NFL. Drafted by the Ravens in the third round of the 2001 NFL Draft, Rabach played four seasons in Baltimore before signing with the Redskins, starting 95 games in six seasons in Washington.
According to Pro Football Focus (you knew that was coming), Rabach's grade of -14.3 rated third-worst on the team behind Jammal Brown and Trent Williams last season.
We highly doubt Rabach would be signed as a replacement for Kyle Cook, who recently signed as a restricted free agent, expected to start practicing with the team on Thursday. Cook is rated as one of the better offensive linemen behind Andrew Whitworth and Bobbie Williams, scoring the the team's second-highest run blocking score of 7.3.

RE:
He’s started every year at center since 2004, so beyond that, I don’t know.

This would be good depth and experience but...
what about Donte Whitenr or a new gaurd. We need to get impact players. MB come on! Sign Whitner, Leron Mclain, and a gaurd and we should be solid going into the regular season.
These FA moves are puzzling.
WR is not a position of concern. If you sign someon on OL, it has to be a guard. Reggie Stephens is a more than adequate backup at C from what I saw last preseason.
People do realize...
Bengals have to fill 90 slots, right? Not everyone of those can be a “big name”. The Patriots and Packers have scrubs too.
You're okay with signing scrubs when glaring holes exist?
And they don’t HAVE to fill 90 slots. It’s a luxury.
just because a report leaks about one scrub they are getting, it doesn't mean they aren't chasing bigger guys at bigger holes (I hope)

Hawkins simply fills a roster spot for preseason etc thats all!

If the Ravens are seriously looking at him
He can’t be that bad of a player…

This is one FA I hope we don't get
Nothing against him, but I’d rather go to war with Cook and Stephens, and use FA to focus on other positions.
But if we’re thinking about moving Stephens to guard, I’d be okay with it.
Hear we just signed Manny Lawson to 1-year deal?
Now everyone exhale, take a step off the ledge.

only 1 year though
@ 27 yrs old . he is the type you need to get for at least a 3 year deal. We are slowly but surely improving.

This is a one-year replacement for Keith Rivers injury no?
Happens to be one of the best linebackers available right now, but nonetheless..

Or maybe it's the opposite
Door seems to have closed on Brandon Johnson, though. Dhani too.

O'Hara from NYG?
Plays C and G. An option?

This is all for depth.
At least, it had better be. Rabach was not a good starter in Washington. I’m from around there, and I watch a lot of Skins games. He can fill in, but he’s not a quality starter.

Can he play guard?
Guard is easier to play than Center, so maybe he can be productive there?
Well done on the Under Siege reference.
Calmer than you are.
