    Losing Hankins will hurt but Im not mad overall what we done this offseason.

    We had a good offseason...i expected us to lose Hankins or jpp...far as Hankins giants can't afford to overpay their 4th best linemen, no-one should. My only concern is that we are depending on the draft for our two biggest offensive needs going into the off-season which is LT and a ball catching TE that can block at a serviceable level...the draft is a ? shoot but I guess you can't build your Whole roster through free agency and have to hit in the draft...i believe this draft can put us in line to compete for a super bowl for the next 3 years if we hit.

    Cool The Saints need to go get him. No he is not a number 1 CB but at least he is better than what they have. Draft a CB in the 2nd round.

    If they get him it should be

    1st #11: LB Hassan Reddick/ DE Barnett
    1st #32: DE Jordan Willis/DT Malik McDowell/RB McCaffery
    2nd: CB Tabor/CB Adoree/CB Humphrey/CB Wilson/QB Mahomes
    3rd: QB Chad Kelly/QB Mahomes/LB Bowser
    3rd: RB McGuire/LB Riley

    I'm hearing that the season opener wont be a Superbowl rematch like the previous season.

    Pats will host KC and Atlanta will have the 1st SNF game in their new stadium.


    Green Bay & Dallas is on the Birds' schedule. It might be one of them. I'm leaning towards Dallas because of their strong fanbase.

    Pacman yells at reporter after arrest question

    CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam Jones went on a verbal tirade against a reporter just minutes into the team's first open interview period of the offseason on Monday.

    Jones was speaking to the media for the first time since he was released from jail following an arrest in January. He spoke for only four minutes before he yelled at a reporter who asked if Jones had anything to say to the fans about his arrest. Jones announced before the interview that he would not be taking any questions related to the arrest.

    Jones entered alcohol-related treatment program and anger management in the offseason following his arrest for harassment with a ? substance, assault, obstructing official business and disorderly conduct. Jones' felony charge stemmed from an incident where he spit on the hand of a nurse at the Cincinnati jail. He was also caught on camera cursing at a police officer and telling him "I hope you die tomorrow."

    Cincinnati prosecutor Joe Deters dropped the felony charge in March, and said Jones' insistence on staying in the anger management program beyond the normal limits factored into his reasoning.

    "I know you said you were thankful for the organization, is there anything you have to show to fans, have to prove to the fans for them to welcome you back since there were a lot of people upset with the way things went down in the offseason for you?," Jones was asked on Monday morning.

    "Didn't I just tell you don't ask me that?" Jones said. "Turn around. Go back that way. See you. Next question."

    Jones then walked away after declaring the reporter was not allowed to ask him any more questions for the rest of the year. He walked across the locker room to the restroom before turning around and coming back to berate the reporter. Jones repeatedly cursed at the reporter and said it was a "? question." Bengals coach Marvin Lewis eventually entered the room to speak with Jones.

    Just a few minutes earlier, Jones answered an question from the same reporter on how he felt about the support from the Bengals' organization following the arrest.

    "Words can't express my feelings for the organization, Mr. Brown, coach Lewis, my teammates, the city of Cincinnati," Jones said. "This is home for me, so I'm very eager be here and I don't take it for granted."

    The Bengals declined to comment on Monday's incident.

    Jones has been in off-the-field trouble several times over the course of his career, which almost came to an end after he was suspended by the NFL for the entire 2007 season due to an incident in a Las Vegas nightclub that resulted in a man being paralyzed. Jones was ordered to pay $12 million in damages to the victim due to his role in the incident.

    Jones has been with the Bengals since 2010 and was voted a team captain for the first time last year.

    All I know is we bet not draft Tabor with his DT speed and quickness

    I'll take Mixon in second round over Mccaffery in the first.

    Mccaffrey is legit.

    He should have won the heisman 2 years ago

    Don't forget about the Hawks being in the playoffs- that's a disaster by itself.

    I go to at least 4 Falcons' game a year for free. The skyboxes and the stands. The Dome was still in good condition and could of lasted at least another 10/15 years. Braves' stadium was ragedy AF.
