The Bengals offseason has been quite uneventful. Resigning
those they needed to resign (MJ, Newman, Jones) while also resigning some head
scratchers (Maualuga, Geathers). Add Scott to the head scratching list.
Bernard Scott
It’s not that I don’t like Bernard Scott, I think he is a
fine change of pace back and a good kickoff returner. However, with a draft
full of younger and healthier “Bernard Scott’s” I just don’t see the point of
bringing him back. He can’t stay healthy, so why not just let him walk, and
draft 2 young RBs? I don’t know the numbers, and maybe they just brought him
back for competition in the backfield, but at initial look, it is a surprising
sign to me.
Mike Pollak
Yawn. To me, this signing screams two things: 1) the Bengals
recognize they need depth at G (which they do), and 2) Wharton is either not
ready yet, or is going to get cut. Either way, I can’t argue with this signing,
but I am not going to get excited by it either.
Alex Smith
The TE Alex Smith. If he signs, I will add this to the head
scratchers list. He is a veteran known for blocking, but with Gresham and
Orson, I don’t see where he fits in. I liked what I saw from Orson last year in
limited time and would like to see some 2 TE sets with Gresham and Orson.
Signing Smith makes me believe they are giving up on Orson….or maybe preparing
to lose Gresham next year?
