+ ... While the situation is different (a different client and another team), it would seem that Bengals fans should keep an eye on Alvin Keels' negotiations for Jets running back Leon Washington. Keels, after conjecturing that the Jets are "pissed off" at him, says that the delay for a contract extension isn't his client's fault. Rather he blames the Jets ... Is this what we should expect? ... Keeping in mind that the two situations are different, you can't stop with that hollow feeling that

Two weeks from this Friday, the Cincinnati Bengals will be in Georgetown with the start of the 2009 Training Camp. For some bloke like me, there's a mixture of excitement, anxiety, anticipation, nervousness and, within a small part of me, dread. God of the Golden Arms returns. New personnel on the offensive line. Defensive changes. More blitzes. Refined offensive playbook, which still holds an aura of mystery as to what that actually means. There's within this dynamic an uncertainty. Reports

ESPN conducted a anonymity poll with 32 NFL players with "eight from each AFC North team", asking who will be the breakout player in the division. Six said Keith Rivers (who led all vote getters in the division), two said Chris Henry with single votes going to Cedric Benson and Rey Maualuga ...

On Tuesday, the Cincinnati Bengals announced Fui Vakapuna and the team have reached a four-year deal. The base pay will likely be $1.75 million over the four years, with the guarantee more than $39,000 and less than $77,000 -- which is in between what Bernard Scott and Clinton McDonald has received. (Update: PFT writes that it's a total value of $1.811 million, which would put his signing bonus in the $61,000 neighborhood) ... Vakapuna is listed as a fullback on the Bengals website and once he

The Bengals franchise has an all-time record of 272-354-2. So I got to thinking: What would the Bengals have to average, per year, in order to achieve an overall record of .500? ... If the Bengals averaged a record of 10-6, it would take them over 21 seasons. If the Bengals averaged a record of 11-5, it would take 14 seasons and with an average 12-4 season, it would take over 10 seasons. And if the Bengals averaged a record of 9-7, it would take 41 seasons to finally achieve .500 all-time ... I

We all know about the other two defenses in the division.  The reputation of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens has been established as being tops in the league, year in and year out.  But the Cincinnati Bengals defense has a different kind of reputation.  Not only are the Bengals known for losing, they are also known for bad defense.  When I did my research for "Mocking the Mock Drafts", most of the so called draft nicks claimed the Bengals needed defensive help because it was so
