Is Katie competent to do anything correctly? At this point, I’m wondering. How TF do those WR deals stop us from getting free agents.
The LEAST likely scenario is the county & the bengals pumping $1B – $2B into Paycor. Most likely they leave. Second most likely, brand new stadium. Least likely will be renovation. It’s pretty obvious.
Poverty franchise! Nothing has changed. They are cheap AF!
Being a Bengals fan is a continuous cycle of watching this organization make simple things exceedingly difficult.
Build a dome and add an nba team
Our ownership has proven once and once again how they always falls short in every regard… And when they have the opportunity to help the best generation of bengals players that they ever going to have they ruin it again… so thank you Brown family to create this team… but now this creation is bigger than yours, time to move and let somebody (not name Elon Musk) take this team not to one but to several super bowls…
The Bengals' front office is a a group of bunglers..
Yeah, K Blackburn doesn't care if she ticks off fans….because they keep buying those tickets.
I hope they move seriously.
This team is a shit show I’m surprised that Joe or Jamar would really want to stay here.
Irony smh
The "Art Modell Law" in Ohio (Ohio Revised Code § 9.67) prevents professional sports teams from moving to a new city or stadium without first negotiating with their host city or giving them six months' notice and an opportunity to buy the team.
Katie the 🤡 stinks. She's been messing up contract negotiations since 2011. She learned the Mike Brown way. Profit>Championships
I agree. Think St. Louis Rams.
The issue is not cap guys. It’s cash.
Bengals ownership doesn’t care about Cincinnati Bengals fans. They care about making money. One good thing about Cincinnati is they can produce a mediocre team and still make a lot of money.
I kept asking you guys about this issue months ago when the emails dropped unexpectedly, yet you never addressed it as a big deal. Why didn't you?
There's a much bigger picture hear I think. The NFL doesn't want Burrow, Chase, and Higgins playing in a small market. They would rather have them in a bigger market on a bigger stage. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the NFL's plan.
“The Bengals are cheap because they spent too much money WR”
Yeah… ok. Say that again slowly.
“It’s not that they don’t spend”
Then stop saying they are cheap.
Say they aren’t aggressive enough. They are risk averse.
Would James and Jake rather have 2 top G instead of Tee?
There are not only other areas in Ohio that would welcome the team, there are other states. The first that comes to mind is San Antonio who has wanted a team for a long time.
Nope, they'll get a last second deal done, then whine about it.
I am confident that the 2 parties will eventually get a deal done. It's just going to come down to the last minute. Ultimately, it behooves both parties to get the stadium agreement that is mutually beneficial.
We don't need a running back in the draft when we badly need guards, a DE, a DT, a Safety, a CB!
They have enough money under the cap to acquire more free agents!
West Chester Bengals? Mason Bengals? Cleves Bengals? lmao … or St. Louis Bengals? Portland Bengals? San Antonio Bengals?
So this may be why they still haven' t gotten Trey's deal done. 😢
