Yea, Wayne, your right. He might not play for the Bengals, but that doesn’t mean he will play for the Cowboys either. Looks like you and I got off on the wrong foot. Isn’t what I was after, but I will not get into it with you. I will come here to blow off STEAM when it has to do with LandryHat’s posts or the Cowboys. PEACE

i agree with steam, the nfl has to take a stand on these guys that want to break there contracts. the owners are obligated to stand by a contract either buy paying the player what he’s due and also taking the cotract life as a hit on the salary cap. that’s beginning to be difficult to work out when you start to have many multiple long term deals with pro-rated signing bonuses that can be extended out well beyound the life of the contract or the playing time of the plyer himself. more and more teams are seeing that long term deals make it almost imposible to trade if you have to eat so much of the remaining portion of the contract and not have the services of that player. so the logical solution is not to trade. the owners are shackeled here. i think cinncy would trade cinco if they possibly could, but the terms of the contract that cinco demanded at the time may have put the noose around his own neck. the agent really could give a shit at that point because he get’s his money, so these guys are being financially mis led. in my opinion cinncy has no choice but to keep cinco and demand he plays through his contract. it’s the best for the team. piss on cinco, he demanded the contract and most importantly he SIGNED it. does your signature and your word mean anything in this world anymore?

I’ve heard the same rumor but with the Eagles and Lito Shepherd as the
destination and the reciprocation, respectively. However, as Redskins
Guy says, the cap hit for the Bengals at this point pretty much rules any trade out. Plus, as great as Williams and Shepherd are, the secondary is the one area on defense that the Bengals are already proficient. Another #1 receiver or a point of attack disrupting DT after June 1st? Maybe. Suppose
Cincinnati takes Chad’s whiny a** to court over breach of contract?
Hmm. Anyway, I’ve had quite enough of him in stripes.
