Finally we reach the Bengals.  They have the Cowboys former defensive coordinator, Mike Zimmer.  They also have Roy Williams (safety), Antonio Bryant, Tank Johnson, Adam Jones, and Terrell Owens.  The Bengals even contacted the Cowboys during the 2009 season to initiate a trade for Martellus Bennett.  The Bengals are like homeless people waiting in the alley for the bakery to throw away rolls and bagels.  While I have concerns about Flozell Adams finding work for the 2010 season, I’m beginning to think that his agent simply hasn’t contacted the Bengals.  Owens signed a one year contract, so my guess is that the Bengals are biding their time while quietly eying the potential release of Roy Williams (wide receiver).

I’m not sure if there is a rhyme or reason as to why the Cowboys castoffs gravitate to Cincinnati, but I have mixed feelings about picking them to finish last in the AFC North.  I want the Bengals to put the Steelers in their place (preferably last), and yet every identified player left the Cowboys with some feeling of good riddance.  Personally, I’d like to see Quincy Carter back in the league.  If Cincinnati is a refuge for former Cowboys, I believe he would be well suited to holding a clipboard.

However, there is another player whom fans want to see stay in the blue and silver: wide receiver Patrick Crayton. He has seven touchdowns on only 39 catches for 570 yards. He’s also played injured half the season. Crayton has been a worthy replacement for the injured Terry Glenn, and he deserves an extension as well. I’ll keep an eye on this to see if anything develops soon. We can’t expect Glenn to play another year, and Crayton will come in handy if we need to educate one of the youngsters the Cowboys may snag in this coming draft. Plus, we can expect a contract problem with Terrell Owens, who is likely to want a new contract for more dough.

In other news,  the NFL fined linebacker DeMarcus Ware $12,500 for his hit last week on Detroit quarterback Jon Kitna.Ware drew a roughing-the-passer penalty in the firt quarter for lifting Kitna and slamming him to the ground. So, Weasy has less money, folks. Stop asking him to pay your credit debts! He’s been tagged by the NFL!
