OT: The Raiders trade Maxx Crosby to the Ravens

Might force the Bengals as a whole to draft an OT right away or another Offensive Lineman in Round One all together. Jesse Minter is a defensive savant while Cleveland and Pittsburgh still both possess Top 5 Pass Rush Units. Not an easy undertaking and doubly so considering that the Bengals need Defensive help like no tomorrow.

 

The other problem for the bengals is their no defense....They were on pace to be one of the worst defense ever in the first 3 months last season!

Losing 39-38(against the Jets!)and 49-42 in back to back week was all-time bad!

 

I don't and hope they miss the playoffs for a fourth consecutive season.

 

Contract is good, but 2 first round is a big ouch.

I'll also take Herbig and Sawyer over Crosby. And I'm not being bias. Those boys showed fantastic field play.

 

Fire Tomlin!

 

It would appear that the NFL and this place value edge rushers very differently.
