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.

Mike Zimmer is the defensive coordinator in Cincinnati which would be a reunion with Williams if the trade occurred. Williams already has his guaranteed money, so the Cowboys would take an affordable $3 million cap hit.

Wow. What a rumor. Thanks to acruther at the cowboys-forum for bringing this to discussion. Listen Bengals, we will even give you a second round pick and linebacker Bobby Carpenter. That will give your defense a much-needed boost.

If such a rumor turns to be true, this would give the Cowboys the most potent offense in the NFL, hands down. Whomever we draft to replace Julius Jones is likely to be an improvement. And the defense hasn’t even been addressed yet.

Imagine Chad Johnson, Terrell Owens, Jason Witten and Patrick Crayton. Tell me that doesn’t worry the NFC East and the rest of the NFL!
