Bengals sign Larson to five-year deal: Thoughts on Odom and Robertson

By Adam Kiefaber

No one will be blown away by the moves the Bengals made today.

However, you sure can’t complain.

The Bengals re-signed one of their more consistent players and confirmed a deal with the team’s best linebacker last season. (Sorry - it isn’t Landon Johnson)

The Bengals and punter Kyle Larson (left) have agreed to a five-year deal.

Larson will continue his consistent career as a Cincinnati Bengal. His career began in 2004 and has never missed a game. In his career, Larson has a 42.8 per-punt average and has 81 punts (out of 279) that he pinned the other team back inside the 20.

In his four-year career with Cincinnati, Larson has not averaged less than 41.3 yards per punt in any of the seasons.

The club also confirmed linebacker Dhani Jones’ three-year deal.

Jones signed with the Bengals after the Cleveland Browns game in week two of last season. Remember the game that brought every Bengal fan back down to earth?

Jones saw some playing time the week he signed and played admirable in the Seattle game in week three. He went on to finish the season with 90 total tackles and had two fumble recoveries. More importantly, Jones became a defensive captain shortly after joining the team.

I will also discuss what people are saying in Cincinnati, Nashville and in Tuscaloosa about the signing of Antwan Odom.

Also, what is going on in the Robertson trade? I will breakdown what people are thinking in New York and in Cincinnati?

A new post containing those topics will be coming soon.
