Anthony Wright signs with the NY Giants

The Bengals were victim of another free agent defection. This time, the Bengals lost backup quarterback Anthony Wright to the New York Giants. In response, Bengals.com reports, that Cincinnati will play host to Tim Rattay.

Rattay's stats:

SEASON TEAM Games/Started Comp. Pct. Yards TDs INTs
2000 SF 49ers 1/0 1 100 -4 0 0
2001 SF 49ers 3/0 2 100 21 0 0
2002 SF 49ers 4/0 26 60.5 232 2 0
2003 SF 49ers 11/3 73 61.9 856 7 2
2004 SF 49ers 9/9 198 60.9 2,169 10 10
2005 TB Bucs 4/4 56 57.7 667 5 6
2006 TB Bucs 4/2 61 60.4 748 4 2
CAREER   36/18 417 60.7 4,689 28 20

The Bengals would likely do one of two things. Sign someone like Rattay and have that person compete with Doug Johnson for the backup job. Or draft a late second-day quarterback. Also, the Bengals would in conversation with Drew Bledsoe before he announced retirement (remember, Elvis Grbac?)
